Confirmed by Kering earlier today.

Ironically, Kanye saying that slavery was a choice wasn't an issue for Balenciaga's owners.

It's great when companies/people use financial consequences to speak for them (in common sense instances , not on some bs reasons) ..

I don't know how much it will do, I to say he knows about the possible ramifications when he does things, but hey ...

You have a point, but be clear: Balenciaga didn't ditch Kanye out of a sense of morality or good corporate citizenship. Kanye got dropped because he's a social pariah right now, and it's risky to be publicly attached to him. Balenciaga is just trying to protect their brand's image.

True. I too think entities just want to do the right thing, but I have to realize the reality.

Good point Bro ✊🏿

Which is why they didn’t drop him when he said slavery was a choice because anti-Black racism is acceptable.

Let's be clear. Kanye is in trouble for what he said about Jews, NOT what he said about Blacks.

Agree 👍 bloc, economic base and influence (we have influence, but we don't realize how much we have. The ballplayers issue during Floyd was another cue)

Now this is what’s really going to send Ye over the edge. You can take his money and music opportunities but you remove his validation in white fashion and he is for sure going into a depression. At the end of the day, all of this proved at least a few things Ye said to be correct.

Can I say I am not surprised?

We fold like a cheap tent.

Kanye keeps digging and I wonder how long he is going to go till he discovers how deranged he's been acting for a while now. Top sponsors now parting ways shows this is beyond his racist useless talks.
