    Kanye West: bank JP Morgan Chase cuts ties with rapper

    The US bank JP Morgan Chase has ended its relationship with Kanye West and his clothing brand Yeezy Inc – although the decision predates the rapper and designer’s recent controversies in which he wore a “White Lives Matter” T-shirt and shared racist conspiracy theories in an unaired interview.

    Candace Owens, the conservative US commentator whom West has associated with in recent years, shared a letter from the bank, dated 20 September, on Twitter.

    The New York Times verified that the bank was ending its relationship with Yeezy LLC but would maintain the accounts until 21 November to allow sufficient time to transfer the account.

    West had previously criticised JP Morgan’s leadership online and said that the bank would not give him access to the bank’s chief executive, Jamie Dimon.

    West has also found his nine-year business relationship with Adidas under review. In September, he shared a fake New York Times front page announcing the death of the brand’s chief Kasper Rørsted. In a statement published last week, the sportswear brand said it had taken the decision “after repeated efforts to privately resolve the situation”. It did not mention West’s recent comments but said “successful partnerships are rooted in mutual respect and shared values”.

    In a since-deleted post, West said the firm “stole” his designs. Earlier this week, West shared a new documentary, Last Week, which depicts him making executives from Adidas watch pornography on his phone and confronting them over the alleged theft of his work.

    In September, West said he was ending his partnership with clothing brand Gap, accusing the firm of failing to honour the terms of the deal.

      Unfortunately, I think that Mr. West will be in the death notice of the newspaper in the next few years - either overdose, or something equally reckless.

          Yes, he must be canceled...

            It’s hard to blame Adidas. Not a great look for any company to have a spokes who tweets raw antisemitism to his gazillion followers but it’s a particularly bad look for a German company.

            JPM seems out of line though.

              @Jolly said in Is West crazy?:

              Yes, he must be canceled...

              What he really needs is for people to help him. Allowing him to publicly make an arse of himself in order to get publicity on his coattails really isn’t doing that.

              I was only joking

                I can't find the second two quotations he attributes to "congresspersons," but I find it interesting (not really) that he doesn't mention who said the first.
