Kanye West ‘escorted from Skechers offices’ after arriving ‘unannounced’

Kanye West turned up at the Skechers offices ‘unannounced’, the company has revealed, shortly after his brand Yeezy’s partnership with Adidas came to an end.

This week, Adidas confirmed that it had ended its decade-long business with the rapper after he made antisemitic comments, ceasing production of Yeezy-branded products.

In a statement, the firm said: ‘Adidas does not tolerate antisemitism and any other sort of hate speech. Ye’s recent comments and actions have been unacceptable, hateful and dangerous, and they violate the company’s values of diversity and inclusion, mutual respect and fairness.’

It appears that the 45-year-old tried to go directly to Skechers to see if the footwear company would be open to working with him, having also recently been dropped from Balenciaga, Gap and reportedly his talent agency as well.

Skechers USA outlined in a statement: ‘The Comfort Technology Company™, stated Kanye West – also referred to as Ye – arrived unannounced and without invitation at one of Skechers’ corporate offices in Los Angeles.
