The rapper formerly known as Kanye West was escorted out of the California-based headquarters of athletic shoemaker Skechers after he showed up unannounced on Wednesday, a day after Adidas ended its partnership with the artist following his antisemitic remarks. "Considering Ye was engaged in unauthorized filming, two Skechers executives escorted him and his party from the building after a brief conversation," according to a company statement.
Details of the message could not be verified; email messages sent to representatives for Ye weren't immediately returned.For weeks, Ye has made antisemitic comments in interviews and social media, including a Twitter post earlier this month that he would soon go "death con 3 on JEWISH PEOPLE," an apparent reference to the U.S. defence readiness condition scale known as DEFCON. His posts led to his suspension from both Twitter and Instagram.
