Kanye West’s representation by the Hollywood talent agency CAA has ended as a result of the rapper’s divisive social media comments towards Jews. A finished documentary about West was also shelved by the film company MRC because it “can’t support” his “unacceptable” viewpoints.
Variety, a Hollywood rumor source, announced on Monday that West, better known as “Ye,” has recently been fired by CAA. The organization, which was previously charged with covering up the iconic producer Harvey Weinstein’s sexual assaults, did not issue a comment regarding the termination of its partnership with West.
The second talent agency to dissociate itself from West in as many days is CAA. In a statement on Sunday, United Talent Agency—the rapper’s previous management before he switched to CAA earlier this year—accused West of “spreading the virus” of anti-Semitism.
In the meanwhile, Apple, Spotify, and the rest of the business community were urged to cut relations with Kanye West in an opinion piece written by the CEO of the entertainment company Endeavor, Ari Emanuel. People who do business with West in the future are enabling his misdirected hatred, according to Emanuel.
MRC studio executives also announced on Monday that they will no longer release a finished documentary on West because they “cannot support any work that enhances his platform.”
They stated, “Kanye is a music producer and sampler. Last week, he sampled and remixed a well-known song that has been on the charts for more than 3,000 years: the myth that Jews are bad people who plot to rule the globe for their own benefit.
West has a long history of holding divisive views and faced backlash from his celebrity peers in 2018 when he returned to social media as a fervent admirer of the late President Donald Trump. However, the most recent controversy started when he said that fellow rapper Diddy was under the influence of Jews after Diddy chastised him for donning a shirt bearing the message “White Lives Matter.”
After that, Ye was banned from Twitter and Instagram for threatening to “kill con 3 On JEWISH PEOPLE” and the family of George Floyd sued Ye with legal action for stating that George Floyd died from a fentanyl overdose. Floyd had evidence of fentanyl in his system, but when former police officer Derek Chauvin kneeled on his neck for eight minutes, the official cause of death was judged to be cardiac arrest.
