BALENCIAGA has officially cut ties with Kanye West following the rapper’s string of antisemitic and offensive remarks.
Following its third-quarter earnings report Thursday, the fashion label’s parent company Kering said in a statement to WWD, “Balenciaga has no longer any relationship nor any plans for future projects related to this artist.”
Balenciaga began distancing itself from West following his controversial appearance on the podcast Drink Champs released last week, where he falsely claimed that George Floyd wasn’t murdered but killed by fentanyl and made even more antisemitic remarks.
On Oct. 17, the fashion giant issued a statement saying West’s runway look from Balenciaga’s Spring 2023 real viagra pharmacy prescription show at Paris Fashion Week had been deleted from Vogue Runway, as well as the Balenciaga website.
Additionally, Balenciaga said it had removed a section on its website dedicated to the three Yeezy Gap Engineered by Balenciaga collaborations, which launched earlier this year.
Those items were also no longer available on other online retailers.
