Kanye West or Ye is an American rapper, singer, songwriter, record producer, and fashion designer.
Ye and Balenciaga have one of the oldest relationships in the fashion industry. Most of it is because of Ye’s personal connections with the fashion house’s creative director Demna Gvasalia.
The third quarter earnings report that came out on 20 October 2022 revealed that Balenciaga has officially cut all ties with the rapper.
The company took the decision after Ye’s antisemitic and offensive remarks during the podcast Drink Champs released last week.
“There were five people put on an ECMO machine that night and the other four died and I survived. So the big question is why? Why was I the one? There has to be some kind of reason,” he concluded.
