Vogue severs ties with Kanye West after his antisemitic rant: report - Insider

  • Vogue and its editor-in-chief Anna Wintour have "no intention" of working with Kanye West again.
  • A representative told PageSix the magazine cut its ties after the rapper made antisemitic comments.
  • It comes after a slew of other companies including Balenciaga distance their brands from West.

Ye, the artist formerly known as Kanye West, is facing consequences for the slew of antisemitic and offensive remarks he recently made. 

One such repercussion is the end of his relationship with Vogue and its editor-in-chief, Anna Wintour, PageSix reported

According to the outlet, a representative said the magazine and Wintour had no intention of working with the rapper again after West ranted about Jewish people in a tweet on October 9. The tweet was removed by the social media platform for violating its guidelines and Twitter later confirmed to Buzzfeed News that he'd been banned from the platform. 

It also came after he made similar offensive remarks during a Fox News interview with Tucker Carlson and a now-deleted Instagram post, Insider previously reported. 

Wintour's decision to cut ties with Ye may come as a personal loss for the rapper, as the pair have been friends for more than a decade. According to PageSix, their relationship began after the Vogue editor invited Ye to his first Met Gala in 2009. Since then, they have been spotted sharing lunches together and supporting each other's business endeavors.

As recent as September, Wintour was seen modeling a pair of Yeezy sunglasses with Ye at New York Fashion Week, The Sun reported

Representatives for Wintour and Vogue, owned by Conde Nast, did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment.

Vogue is also not the only organisation to distance itself from the rapper following his recent comments. On Thursday, Balenciaga's parent company said that it no longer had a relationship with Ye, Insider reported. 

And earlier this month, Adidas announced it was reviewing its relationship with Ye.

"After repeated efforts to privately resolve the situation, we have taken the decision to place the partnership under review. We will continue to co-manage the current product during this period," the company said in a statement, CNBC reported.
