Talent agency 33&West has cut ties with rapper Kanye West following his latest antisemitic outburst on social media. The announcement came through an Instagram Stories post by music agent Daniel McCartney on February 10.
"Effective immediately, I'm no longer representing YE (F/K/A Kanye West) due to his harmful and hateful remarks that myself nor 33 & West can stand for," McCartney wrote, concluding with "peace and love to all."
The termination follows West's inflammatory posts on X (formerly Twitter) on February 6, where he made antisemitic statements, praised Adolf Hitler, and defended Sean "Diddy" Combs. During his tirade, West dismissed antisemitism as "just some bulls--- Jewish people made up" and declared he would never apologize for his comments about Jewish people.
West's X account has since been deactivated, though it remains unclear whether this was his decision or the platform's action. The rapper had previously faced a ban from the platform in 2022 after threatening to go "death con 3 on Jewish people."
The controversy expanded when West aired a Super Bowl advertisement directing viewers to Yeezy.com, where he attempted to sell swastika-themed merchandise. The e-commerce platform Shopify subsequently removed the website for violating its terms of service.
This latest incident adds to West's pattern of antisemitic behavior, which has already cost him partnerships with major brands including Adidas, Balenciaga, and Gap. The rapper was also previously dropped by Creative Artists Agency (CAA) in October 2022 following similar antisemitic remarks.
A lawsuit filed by a former marketing employee has emerged, alleging West created a hostile work environment through antisemitic behavior and inappropriate comments. The legal document includes claims of the rapper sending text messages declaring "I Am A Nazi" and referring to himself as Hitler.
