Kanye West Dropped by Agency After Controversy

Kanye West has been dropped by his talent agency, 33&West, following a series of antisemitic posts and controversial actions on social media, including selling a T-shirt with a swastika. This move comes after his account on X (formerly Twitter) was deactivated and his Yeezy website was shut down by Shopify for violating terms of service. Daniel McCartney, a talent agent at 33&West, announced the decision, citing West's harmful and hateful remarks as the reason. West's actions have sparked widespread backlash, reminiscent of his previous antisemitic controversies in 2022. Former Yeezy chief of staff Eric Cui also resigned, expressing disagreement with West’s conduct. The incident has led to significant professional repercussions for the rapper, who has not yet responded publicly.
