Yet another relationship ends for Kanye West as Balenciaga cuts ties with him. The exact reason for the fashion house’s decision wasn’t stated but many believe it’s a result of the fashion mogul’s anti-semitic attacks.
Per Women’s Wear Daily, the fashion house parent company to Balenciaga circulated a statement saying:
While the statement didn’t expand any more than that, it’s clear that Ye’s recent controversies are affecting him negatively. Some months ago, Justin Bieber had to cut ties with the rapper after he insulted his wife.
At one of Chicago’s recent games, the controversial fashion mogul was spotted seating behind his ex-wife Kim Kardashian. It was reported that the SKIMS founder paid him little or no mind throughout the game.

Balenciaga Ends Relationship With Kanye West, Adidas Deal Under Review
The rapper was also in the news for talking down on the Jews in a Drink Champs interview last week. It is believed Kanye West’s relationship with Balenciaga ended because of his “racist remark” on the show.
The host jokingly chipped in that Ye is supposed to feel sorry. Again, the fashion designer replied, “Absolutely not.” Many, including Howard Stern, openly condemned Kanye West before Balenciaga ended the relationship with him.
It’s unfortunate for the rapper and the fashion house to cut ties after coming a long way. They have just partnered for a Yeezy Gap Engineered by Balenciaga collection which sold massively. The fashion mogul also opened the walkway for Balenciaga’s Paris Fashion Week Show.
Although things have ended between Kanye West and Balenciaga, his multi-billion deal with Adidas is still intact. However, it’s reportedly under review.
