His music needs to be removed from all streaming and digital platforms ASAP.

I can’t help but wonder now how music critics are going to bend over themselves to praise his next album after all this.

For context: CAA only represented him for touring since 2016 and he... has not toured since. So that was really to save face more than anything else. Not really a financial hit for them. iMDB Pro has Def Jam & FYI Brand Group as his publicists. Nothing else (regarding a talent agency) is listed.

Very disturbing...
The antisemitic Goyim Defense League, which claimed responsibility for the Los Angeles banner, has also decided to use Ye’s comments to pit the Black community against Jewish people, declaring the latter “a universal enemy.”

I don’t think they did it because of the antisemitism. I think they literally did it because it’s just bad for business because their stock is absolute taking a beating in the last two days. It’s really shameful that it took this long but not surprising knowing their own sordid history. I wonder if they have some sort of a clause in the contract where they would have to pay him a lot of money if they break the contract. I know I sound really cynical and jaded but it doesn’t seem like they did it for the correct reasons.

Now that the Stockholm syndrome is wearing off, can we finally acknowledge that the chopped-and-screwed trash compactor samples with a reverb filter were dog shit?

Meanwhile, his "friend" wants to countersue George Floyd's family and calls their lawsuit a "PR stunt,". 💀

It is being reported that Kanye actually wanted out of all these different business deals he was in so he intentionally behaved this way so he would be dropped.

Yeah I’m done with his ass. Like he’s been the only person I’ve been able to separate art from artist from (as much as all of his art actually being about him), but like, fuck his racist ass.

I mean, he's literally aligned himself with Hitler. You'd basically be listening to Hitler's greatest hits. No. Won't do it.

It's about time Kanye West was held accountable. Too many free passes given which is rare because he is a black male and that never usually happens but my theory is that some parts of mainstream America loves that he is anti black. Their favorite kinda Black. He speaks for them.
His recent continued assault on Jewish people is revolting and disturbing not to mention diabolical.
His continued anti black rhetoric lately is also disgusting. Kanye is an attention seeking, toxic slut

I'm upset that it will take some kind of act of violence towards himself or others to have him committed. He's been on record that the meds dampen his creativity (he wouldn't be the first to say that), so I feel like something has to give. It's not just about him losing money, but that's definitely a start.

Hot take, but I think it’s as much the fault of racists gonna racist as it is people giving him the Jussie Smollett treatment. Chris Brown still gets a pass, albeit for a different offense. I said it in another thread, but he was always babied when it came to this s**t. A lot of that has to do with how the general public is so forgiving of men, but that’s a different conversation altogether. This issue goes well beyond any of that, though. I'm upset that it will take some kind of act of violence towards himself or others to have him committed. He's been on record that the meds dampen his creativity (he wouldn't be the first to say that), so I feel like something has to give. It's not just about him losing money, but that's definitely a start. It’s common for patients who take mood stabilizers to abandon treatment. There’s a lot of medical bulls**t I could go into, but basically people like West may as well be high on ecstasy one minute then have withdrawals the next. Many don’t think think the lows are worth treating if it means losing the highs too. I mean, s**t, his manic episodes were so high he thought he was Christ for a while. West’s chances of being 5150’d are pretty damn low. He’ll never seek help, because he thinks there’s nothing wrong with him. The Kardashians went with it, because it made for good TV. His audience hypes him up, because it’s entertaining. He’ll never get properly treated, because he’s isolated himself from anyone who cares and insulated by others who don’t. Worse, BPD and BP-type schizoaffective aren’t typically violent, but they are susceptible to suicidal ideations without treatment. I’m not worried about him hurting someone else. I’m worried about him hurting himself, but by that point it might be too late. That’s what makes all of this so incredibly f**ked up. Regardless of how or why he got a pass, a lot of people enabled this, including fans and sponsors. I’m not blame-shifting, he has a diagnosis and abandoned his treatment plan, but we’re seeing the consequences of “normalizing” mental illness play out in real time. Had there been a greater effort to destigmatize it, fine, but people were lazily conditioned to ignore it altogether. We have Kanye West, and a lot more, to show for it. People need to start unpacking this s**t.

LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. I am so beyond . Imagine believing this? It's not that far-fetched that he would do something like this. I think it is. He’s built huge brands that only can exist with these companies at the scale he’s wanting it. Adidas owns all his designs, Ye owns the trademarks. Of course he will come out in a few weeks and say “I wanted out and will do it solo” but these companies made him a billionaire (and subsequently cost him being a billionaire now - I believe the loss of the Adidas contract just shaved $1B off his net worth). Nobody. Let me repeat. Nobody. Just walks away from a billion dollar thriving company with massive growth potential for fun and does it by being anti-Semitic. If he wanted out, there are ways to do it without being cancelled, losing 2/3 of your net worth and becoming public enemy number one.

He still has to get paid by one of em right? Common yall. Kanye and his people leaked that mess so the sting of losing all his deals and endorsements wouldn't be so bad. Nobody blows up their entire reputation and future potential earning by being xenophobic, antisemitic and sexist and overall creeper. The blowback from this will be commercially speaking long lasting. No company will deal with this demonic big jawed, fast talking heathen

Except Kanye gets a pass from most everyone -- not just "conservatives." I think the reason he gets a pass is 1) Because he's a man; (2) He's lauded as a "genius" in music by many; and (3) People seem to be agree that he has some sort of mental imbalance. So, speaking down on him is like being ableist. I think his "Anti-Blackness" is more of a recent thing (Kanye 2020 onward) that has garnered him conservative support.

To be fair I don’t think anyone was implying it was just white conservatives. Rather, they’re a part of a larger problem. I would argue (and agree with you here) that the MAGA stans are in the minority though, lol.
