Kanye West ‘escorted’ out of Skechers offices

Kanye West turned up unannounced at the Skechers corporate offices and was "escorted" out by two executives, the shoe manufacturer stated in a statement on Wednesday.

West, originally known as Ye, made headlines recently for making anti-Semitic and racist remarks that cost him some lucrative design collaborations.

At the Los Angeles offices, he showed there "unannounced and without invitation," according to Skechers, who also stated that he was "engaged in illicit filming."

This month, the hip-hop celebrity made an appearance at a fashion show in Paris sporting a shirt bearing the slogan "White Lives Matter," which was developed as a response to the Black Lives Matter movement.

Days later, he was locked out of Twitter and Instagram for threatening to “Go death con 3 on JEWISH PEOPLE,” referencing US military readiness.

“Skechers is not considering and has no intention of working with West,” the company said Wednesday.

“We condemn his recent divisive remarks and do not tolerate anti-Semitism or any other form of hate speech.”

“Considering Ye was engaged in unauthorized filming, two Skechers executives escorted him and his party from the building after a brief conversation,” it added.

German sportswear giant Adidas on Tuesday announced it was ending its partnership with West, followed later that day by American apparel company Gap, which said it was taking “immediate” steps to remove its products.

Paris-based fashion house Balenciaga ended ties with West last week.

One of Hollywood’s biggest talent agencies, CAA, said on Monday it was dropping West. In contrast, film and TV producer MRC said it was shelving an already finished documentary about the artist.

West’s ex-wife Kim Kardashian posted a message condemning hate speech on social media this week without mentioning her former husband.

West, 45, has been outspoken about his struggles with mental health issues.
