Kanye West DROPPED by Talent Management Firm Following Controversial Remarks

Kanye West’s latest anti-Semitic and misogynistic statements have once again landed him in hot water. In the wake of his incendiary remarks, Los Angeles-based talent management firm 33&West has officially cut ties with him, adding to the mounting backlash against the rapper. The fallout has been swift, with a former employee resigning, Shopify shutting down Yeezy’s website, and Elon Musk banning Kanye from X (again).

Immediate Termination from 33&West

On February 10, music industry executive Daniel McCartney, who had been working with Kanye through 33&West, took to Instagram to announce that the firm would no longer be associated with the rapper. His statement was clear and direct: “Effective immediately, due to his harmful and hateful comments, I personally, and 33&West as a company, can no longer represent him.”

McCartney’s decision comes after a series of Kanye’s social media posts, in which he doubled down on his admiration for Hitler, hatred for Jewish people, and shocking claims about controlling his wife, Bianca Censori.

Yeezy’s Chief of Staff QUITS Amid Controversy

Adding to Kanye’s troubles, Eric Cui, the chief of staff at Yeezy, resigned on February 9, citing the rapper’s troubling support for Diddy amid the music mogul’s recent abuse allegations.

In a public statement, Cui said: “I once enjoyed working at YZY because I believed in his vision. I believe in freedom of speech. So, I will use my own freedom of speech to say that violence and crimes against women and children are wrong.”

His departure highlights a growing trend of professionals in Kanye’s circle distancing themselves as he continues to make inflammatory statements.

Shopify SHUTS DOWN Kanye’s Yeezy Website

On February 11, Shopify confirmed that it had removed the official Yeezy website, citing violations of its terms of service. According to reports, the website had begun selling T-shirts featuring Nazi imagery, sparking widespread outrage and raising concerns over Kanye’s increasingly extremist rhetoric.

A Shopify spokesperson stated:

“The content violated our policies, and the store has been removed from our platform.”

With his e-commerce platform shut down, Kanye’s business empire appears to be crumbling as quickly as his public image.

Kanye West Faces NEW Lawsuit Over Anti-Semitic Remarks

As if the backlash wasn’t enough, Kanye is now facing legal action. On February 11, a former employee sued him, alleging that he had mocked her Jewish heritage while working at Yeezy.

This latest lawsuit adds to a long list of legal and financial troubles that Kanye has faced in recent years. From losing multi-million-dollar brand deals with Adidas, Balenciaga, and GAP in 2022 to facing eviction from his Yeezy offices, Kanye’s reckless behavior is coming at a serious cost.

Elon Musk BANS Kanye West from X (Again)

Despite thanking Elon Musk for allowing him to post freely on X (formerly Twitter), Kanye found himself banned from the platform once again on February 9.

His suspension comes after several posts glorifying Hitler and attacking Jewish communities. This marks the second time Elon Musk has taken action against Kanye—his previous X ban in December 2022 followed similar anti-Semitic comments.

The irony? Kanye personally thanked Musk for giving him a space to “express himself” just before getting kicked off the platform.

The Bigger Picture: Kanye’s History of Controversy

This isn’t Kanye’s first public downfall—but will it be his last?

• In 2022, his anti-Semitic remarks cost him Adidas, Balenciaga, and GAP, stripping him of his billionaire status.
• He later apologized to the Jewish community, but his recent actions suggest he hasn’t changed.
• His marriage to Bianca Censori has been under scrutiny, with Kanye reportedly controlling what she wears, says, and does.
• He caused a scene at the 2025 Grammys, where Bianca’s nearly nude outfit made headlines.

With industry insiders, business partners, and even his own employees turning away, Kanye’s future looks uncertain.
