Kanye West escorted out of Skechers building

Shoe company Skechers says two of its executives escorted embattled musician Kanye West from one of its Los Angeles buildings.

The company said West, who has legally changed his name to Ye, “arrived unannounced and without invitation”.

It said he was engaged in “unauthorised filming” and he was escorted out “after a brief conversation”.

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

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

Adidas put the “partnership under review” in early October after he wore a “White Lives Matter” T-shirt in public.

The Anti-Defamation League categorises the phrase as a “hate slogan” used by White supremacist groups, including the Ku Klux Klan.

Recently, West said “I can say antisemitic s— and Adidas cannot drop me,” during a tirade against Jews on the Drink Champs Podcast.

He also threatened on Twitter to “Go death con 3 on Jewish people”.

Other companies that have pulled back from West in recent days include Gap, Foot Locker and TJ Maxx.
