Lil Baby Charts 25 Songs Simultaneously On The Hot 100

By: Yohance Kyles (@HUEYmixwitRILEY)Category: News

Not only does Lil Baby have the #1 album in the country, but the Atlanta-bred rhymer also controls ¼ of the current Billboard Hot 100 chart.

Lil Baby managed to land 25 songs on this week’s Hot 100. His “California Breeze” single opened at #4 on the rankings. Baby scored Top 10 entries for “Forever” featuring Fridayy (#8) and “Real Spill” (#10) as well.

Three tracks off Lil Baby’s It’s Only Me studio LP also presently occupy the Top 20. “Pop Out” with Nardo Wick started at #15. “In a Minute” rose 24 spots to #16. “Never Hating” with incarcerated rap star Young Thug debuted at #19.

Plus, Lil Baby controls an additional four positions in the Top 40 region. The 27-year-old southerner’s “Heyy” (#21), “Stand On It” (#22), “Not Finished” (#26), and “Perfect Timing” (#32) are all among the 40 most-popular songs in America.

Lil Baby Makes History

According to ChartData, Baby became the youngest music act in history to have at least 25 songs chart on the Hot 100 at the same time. The Quality Control rapper only joins Drake and Taylor Swift on the list of artists to achieve that feat.

The music history books added another new milestone, thanks to Lil Baby. The star born Dominique Armani Jones surpassed Nicki Minaj for seventh place on the all-time rankings of most entries on the Hot 100 with 132 songs. He has the most entries for 2022 (39) too.

Lil Baby also made some personal history this week with his latest full-length body of work. His It’s Only Me album racked up 216,000 first-week units. That sales total is the highest opening week of Baby’s career.

Baby Scored His Third No. 1 Album With It’s Only Me

In addition to Fridayy, Nardo Wick, and Young Thug, It’s Only Me also features Future, Rylo Rodriguez, Jeremih, EST Gee, and Pooh Shiesty. Baby’s third studio LP follows 2018’s Harder Than Ever and 2020’s chart-topping My Turn.

The Voice of the Heroes by Lil Baby and Lil Durk also hit #1 on the Billboard 200 in 2021. That collaborative project came after Baby teamed with fellow Atlanta native Gunna for the 2018 joint effort Drip Harder.

Lil Baby and Gunna earned an RIAA Diamond Award (10 million units) for the Drip Harder single “Drip Too Hard.” The RIAA also named My Turn the Top Album of 2020. My Turn crossed the 4x-Platinum mark in February 2022.

By: Yohance Kyles (@HUEYmixwitRILEY)Category: News

Aubrey Drake Graham celebrated his 36th birthday on October 24. The international superstar likely got an unexpected present from one of his followers known as Fake Drake.

A social media personality once known as IzzyDrake informed his Instagram followers of his name change. Apparently, the real Drake’s OVO company requested Fake Drake to drop the moniker and stop using the brand’s trademarked material.

“Happy birthday to the greatest artist in history and my biggest inspiration. I got this cease and desist letter from OVO [a] couple days ago and as a respectful b-day gift to @champagnepapi I changed my name from IzzyyDrake to Izzyyfamous🎈🎉,” wrote the aspiring musician on Instagram.

The supposed correspondence read, in part, “This letter serves as a notice of your unauthorized use of the trademark, ‘OVO’ to promote your brand and likeness, as well as your unauthorized fabrication of media which is Per Se damaging and defamatory to our brand. Your conducted actions are unwarranted, unwelcome, and inacceptable.”

It continued, “In addition, this shall serve as a pre-suit letter demanding that you provide us written assurance within 7 days that you will cease and desist from making any further factually untrue statements involving OVO Sound and/or Drake, and that you will no longer fabricate media that portrays the aforementioned Trademarks.”

Before dropping the Drake part of his name, IzzyDrake released a song titled “Letter To Drizzy” in September. This year also saw the release of Izzy Drake’s “Attack of the Clones” featuring Perkioo aka Fake Lil Durk.

Adidas Drops Kanye But Keep Yeezy Name, Designs And Colorways

By: AllHipHop StaffCategory: News

Adidas bosses have terminated their partnership with Kanye West over his recent antisemitic remarks.

Over the course of this month, the “Stronger” rapper has made a string of divisive and offensive comments about Jewish people on social media and during interviews.

On Tuesday, a representative for the German sportswear giant issued a statement in which they confirmed they had cut ties with West as a result of his behavior.

“Adidas does not tolerate antisemitism and any other sort of hate speech. Ye’s recent comments and actions have been unacceptable, hateful and dangerous, and they violate the company’s values of diversity and inclusion, mutual respect and fairness,” they commented. “After a thorough review, the company has taken the decision to terminate the partnership with Ye immediately, end production of Yeezy branded products and stop all payments to Ye and his companies. Adidas will stop the Adidas Yeezy business with immediate effect.”

Established in 2015, the collaboration between the label and West was highly lucrative for both parties, with the Yeezy Boost sneaker ranges proving to be particularly popular.

As part of the statement, an Adidas spokesperson assured investors that the move will have a “short-term negative impact” on the company’s net income.

They also maintained that the brand is the “sole owner” of all design rights to existing products as well as previous and new colourways under the partnership.

Kanye West has not yet commented on the decision.

Adidas Severs All Ties With Kanye West

By: Houston WilliamsCategory: News

Retail sports company Adidas has ended its partnership with Kanye West, after a slew of antisemitic comments were made by the billionaire rap artist.

The German-based company said that it has severed all ties with Ye. Adidas said it estimates losing $246.5 million this year alone for discontinuing their business relationship with the artist.

“Ye’s recent comments and actions have been unacceptable, hateful and dangerous, and they violate the company’s values of diversity and inclusion, mutual respect and fairness,” the company said in a statement.

Adidas will end the partnership, all production of Yeezy branded products, and even stop payment to all of his companies immediately.

Adidas shares had slumped almost 5%, a low since 2016.

The partnership between the sports merchandise company and the artist was already strained, prior to the antisemitic comments. However, public scrutiny and criticism took its toll.

Lil Baby Addresses Alleged Photo Of Saweetie Sitting On His Lap

By: Yohance Kyles (@HUEYmixwitRILEY)Category: News

The rumored rivalry taking place in the Quality Control Music camp could be bubbling over to the public. Several pictures, songs, and interviews have entangled Lil Baby, Quavo, Offset, Saweetie, and Cardi B into a web of cheating speculation.

A photo posted last year by Saweetie had the internet questioning if the “My Type” performer left her relationship with Quavo to link up with his labelmate Lil Baby. Then Quavo hinted at the situation on the Only Built for Infinity Links album with Takeoff.

“I said, Caresha please, ’cause she too messy. B#### f##### my dawg behind my back, but I ain’t stressing. You wanted the gang, you shoulda just said it, we would have blessed it,” raps Quavo on the “Messy” track.

At first, there was speculation that Quavo’s bars were about his Migos groupmate and Cardi B’s husband Offset. Migos seemingly parted ways before Only Built for Infinity Links dropped which had a lot of people wondering what led to the split.

However, there was also evidence to suggest Quavo penned those “Messy” lines about Lil Baby, not Quavo. For example, Quavo used the phrase “my dawg” in the song. Previously, he appeared on the remix of “My Dawg” by Lil Baby.

In November 2021, Saweetie shared a photo of herself sitting on a man’s lap. Social media users began pointing out that the guy in the picture had on a very similar outfit to Lil Baby. Then Baby released his It’s Only Me album and the rumor mill lit up again.

It’s Only Me‘s “Stand On It” features Lil Baby rapping, “I don’t want your b####, we can’t swap out.” That message from Baby appeared to be a response to Quavo’s Instagram Story post in 2021. At the time, the Georgia native wrote, “Ain’t tripping. We can swap it out! #QCTheLabel.”

Someone has now directly questioned Lil Baby about the Saweetie situation. In a preview for an upcoming interview with the Big Facts podcast, Big Bank asked Baby if he was the man in that viral picture with Saweetie.

“Nah,” answered Lil Baby before laughing with the Big Facts hosts. Big Bank also suggested it must be hard living Lil Baby’s lifestyle because of rumors being connected to his name. The Grammy winner replied, “I do have to like, move a certain way because of that, and I be trying my best.”

Tamika Mallory Claims Kanye West Is Upset Because He Lost Kim Kardashian

By: Yohance Kyles (@HUEYmixwitRILEY)Category: News

Has Kanye “Ye” West’s recent scorched-earth media run been a reaction to losing his wife? Social justice advocate Tamika Mallory suggests the Donda album creator is acting out over Kim Kardashian.

Kanye West continues to lose business and personal relationships because of his extremely controversial comments. However, he has gained the support of white supremacists, white nationalists, and Neo-Nazis.

The 45-year-old billionaire falsely implied unarmed African-American George Floyd died from a fentanyl overdose and not from a police officer’s excessive force. Ye also threatened to go “death con 3” on the Jewish community.

Tamika Mallory made an appearance on Brutally Honest with Jasmine Brand. The Fox Soul show included Mallory sharing her thoughts on the controversy surrounding Kanye West at the moment.

“I think that Kanye is upset because he lost his woman. He’s trying to weaponize other communities to help him fight his personal battle,” Tamika Mallory told celebrity blogger Jasmine Brand.

Mallory continued, “In one of the clips from the recent interview he did on Drink Champs he said, ‘If y’all don’t want me to wear White Lives Matter t-shirt, then the culture should get behind me, when they take my child, the culture should get behind me.’”

The 2017 Women’s March co-chair added, “So now you’re saying that we should be involved in your custody issues, your family business. How many Black men has Kanye helped that can’t see their children? What is he involved in?” 

After getting married in 2014, Kanye West and reality television star Kim Kardashian publicly separated in 2021. Kardashian began dating comedian Pete Davidson in November 2021 before breaking up in August of this year.

West went on a months-long social media campaign against Pete Davison, who he disparagingly called Skete. According to Brilliant Idiots podcast host Charlamagne Tha God, the tension between Pete Davidson and Kante West also stemmed from Ye expressing his jealousy that Davidson has a “10-inch penis.”

U.K. Rapper AJ Tracey Offers Scholarships For Black Students At Oxford University 

By: London JennnCategory: News

AJ Tracey is putting his resources into addressing “historic underrepresentation” among Black students at Oxford University. 

The West Londoner is donating £40,000 annually ($45K approx.) to assist ethnic minority students at the world-class university. The AJ Tracey Fund also aims to support research into Black histories and experiences. 

He took to social media last week (Oc. 18), sharing a series of images from a dinner he hosted at St Peter’s College. 

“A big thank you to @UniofOxford & @SPC_Oxford for allowing me to hold a dinner and meet some of the brightest young people last night,” AJ Tracey Penned in the caption. It was an honour to speak at the union and I look forward to our continued work and partnership going forward 📚🧠 

The “Thiago Silva” rapper said he’s working to “level the playing field” for Black Oxford students.  

“I think, in general, for anyone who doesn’t understand why Black people who have managed to become successful want to help Black kids, it should be self-explanatory,” AJ Tracey told The Guardian. “The whole country is catered towards white people and we’re just trying to level the playing field by helping Black kids.”  

AJ Tracey also addressed the backlash fellow U.K. rapper Stormzy received when he announced a scholarship for Black students at Cambridge. Some online branded the “Mel Made Me Do It” hitmaker racist and “anti-white” for the move. 

“It’s crazy,” AJ Tracey said in response. “At the end of the day, a large portion of the population is always going to have a very uneducated and misguided view on these kinds of happenings. Even if I were to say, ‘Yeah, I want to help every student, not just Black or ethnic students’, they’ll just say it’s a PR stunt.” 

Candace Owens Threatens To Sue George Floyd’s Family

By: London JennnCategory: News

Candace Owens is threatening to sue the family of George Floyd after their attorney revealed they are considering a $250 million lawsuit against Kanye West after he claimed Floyd’s death was caused by a drug overdose.  

Earlier this month, the rapper attended the premier of the controversial conservative commentator’s new documentary “The Greatest Lie Ever Sold: George Floyd,” and later cited the film during his controversial Drink Champs interview.  

Ye incorrectly claimed Floyd died from a Fentanyl overdose despite two separate autopsies concluding his death was caused by asphyxiation caused by police officer Derek Chauvin kneeling on his neck for nine minutes.  

Candace Owens Brands George Floyd Family’s Lawsuit A “PR Stunt”

After the family cited emotional distress as a motivating factor in the lawsuit, Candace Owens defended Kanye West. She said the suit is causing her “a ton of distress,” calling it “a PR stunt,” before threatening her own legal proceedings. 

“I’m also sick of frivolous lawsuits,” she said on her podcast. “You know, if this is actually considered credible, if you can sue somebody because you’re feeling ’emotionally distressed’ because of them going out and saying things, well then I think that I have grounds to sue George Floyd’s estate.” 

She continued, “I have grounds to sue George Floyd’s family for doing this little PR stunt. It’s causing me a ton of distress. I feel angry and I feel upset with the fact that I am fighting for Black America to be freed from the lies while these people are fighting to keep them in the dark!”  

 Candace Owens then doubled down, saying, “This is unacceptable. I’m really — I’m serious. I’m going to go out and I’m going to ask lawyers ‘If this is legitimate, can I sue George Floyd’s family?’ Because I should be able to.” 

Earlier this month, Kanye West and Candace Owens reunited at the Yeezy designers Paris Fashion Week Show. The pair were widely criticized for wearing Ye’s “White Lives Matter” shirts during the event.  

Kanye West: Kim Kardashian “Could Never Love” Pete Davidson Because “She Likes Black Guys”

By: London JennnCategory: News

Kanye West says he always knew Kim Kardashian would break up with Pete Davidson because she has a type; according to Ye, “she likes Black guys.” 

The DONDA rapper, currently at the center of controversy over his antisemitic remarks, has never been a fan of the comedian. Though Kim and Pete have since broken up, Kanye’s online harassment of Pete Davidson reportedly caused the comic to enter therapy. 

However, Ye said their recent split was inevitable as Pete is not her type. 

“I mean I knew there was no way she could love this dude,” Kanye West said during an appearance on the Lex Fridman Podcast. “Not just because he’s ugly, he’s not Black. She likes Black guys.” 

Furthermore, Kanye West said Kim Kardashian’s “type” is even more specific. “Every guy that she is with looks exactly the same,” Ye continued. “Ray J, Reggie Bush, at that time Kanye West. She has a type just like how I have a type. A lot of my girls look kind of similar to her.” Check out the clip below and the interview at the end of the page.

Elsewhere during the interview posted on Monday (Oct. 24), Ye described the mother of his four children as “My favourite of all time.” When asked about his love for Kim Kardashian, Kanye explained it’s down to her biology.  

“It’s just, the DNA is like … she a mix of Rob and Kris,” Ye said, referring to Kim’s parents, Robert Kardashian and Kris Jenner. “That’s a really high pool right there. Those are like two geniuses.” 

Kanye West described himself as “the living” version of Kim’s late father during his interview with Piers Morgan.  

“I’m still the priest of that home. They want to make it this matriarch society…but I am the priest of that home, and God is alive. I am the living Robert Kardashian,” Ye stated. “And I’m going to stand up for what God would want as a Christian. 

Meanwhile, Kim condemned antisemitism in a recent social media post. While she did not mention Kanye by name, she called out hate speech. Kris Jenner and Kim’s sister Khloe Kardashian also shared similar messages.

By: London JennnCategory: News

Kanye West and G.O.O.D. Music’s working relationship with Def Jam has reportedly come to an end. 

According to a report from the New York Times, a source confirmed Ye and his G.O.O.D Music label are no longer affiliated with Def Jam. Kanye West 

While the news comes as numerous brands sever their ties with the rapper over his antisemitic comments, it’s unclear if Ye’s remarks affected his association with his longtime record label.

Kanye West’s Weeks Of Controversy

On Monday (Oct. 24), talent agency CAA became the latest in a long line of business to cut ties with Kanye West. He signed with the agency in 2016 which represented him for touring, but they dropped him over his antisemitic remarks. 

Also on Monday, Film Studio MRC announced they won’t be releasing a documentary on Ye, despite recently completing filming. “We cannot support any content that amplifies his platform,” they said in a statement.  

Companies and longtime friends have been distancing themselves from Kanye West and his remarks since his controversial Paris Fashion Week show. He received backlash over his “White Lives Matter” designs and association with conservative commentator Candace Owens before being suspended from social media over antisemitic rhetoric.  

Since then, Ye’s made a steady stream of media appearances doubling down on his earlier statements while making other controversial remarks and pedaling conspiracy theories. Drink Champs took down their interview with Ye, and N.O.R.E. apologized for not checking Kanye West over his incorrect statements about the death of George Floyd.  

However, in his most recent interview aired on Monday, Kanye West revealed he “absolutely” is happy. During an appearance on the Lex Fridman Podcast, he explained that although he has frustrations, “it’s difficult to make me unhappy.” Check out the clip below.  

Kanye West Sues Australian Burger Shop Over Its Branding

By: Justin IveyCategory: News

Australia’s College Dropout Burgers faced the legal wrath of Kanye West, who filed a lawsuit against the burger shop.

According to multiple reports, Kanye West pursued legal action over the burger shop’s name and menu. Earlier this year, the restaurant received a cease and desist that led to its owner removing a ‘Ye-inspired logo and menu items referencing the controversial rapper/producer.

The burger shop maintained the College Dropout name despite it being the title of Kanye West’s debut album. Owner Mark Elkhouri said he kept the name because he’s a college dropout.

“College Dropout Burgers has respectfully removed all references to Ye, establishing a new direction, theme and brand identity,” Mark Elkhouri told 3AW in Australia. “I can’t understand what would motivate a major artist to sue a small humble burger restaurant on the other side of the world.”

Kanye West’s lawyers claim College Dropout Burgers still references ‘Ye in multiple ways. Although the restaurant got rid of a Dropout Bear logo, lawyers insist there are still items on the menu linked to ‘Ye.

Attorneys are seeking a permanent injunction against Mark Elkhouri. Lawyers also asked the College Dropout Burgers owner to withdraw a trademark application and get rid of any materials referencing Kanye West.

Westside Gunn Implies Drake Is Trolling Him With Same Release Dates

By: Justin IveyCategory: News

Westside Gunn took notice of Drake’s choice for a release date.

The Griselda Records rapper suggested Drake was trying to overshadow Westside Gunn’s Hitler Wears Hermes 10 project, which drops on October 28. Drake recently announced Her Loss, a collaborative album with 21 Savage due out on the same day.

“2yrs in a Row @Drake I’m on to you,” Westside Gunn wrote with laughing emojis on Twitter. “10/28.”

Although Westside Gunn will be fighting for listeners’ attention on October 28, he doesn’t seem fazed by the high-profile competition. He championed himself while promoting Hitler Wears Hermes 10 on Monday (October 24).

“I’m a be honest with y’all CANT NOBODY F### WITH ME,” he declared via Twitter. “This s### in me not on me, why I have to be the illest rapper when I’m the Illest N…., ya Fav rapper wish he was me, oh yea and my albums still better than everybody’s hahahahah #FLYGOD TEN 10/28 @griseldarecords #GXFR.”

“Tasha Ain’t Learned Her Lesson Yet?” Megan Thee Stallion Likes Post Denying Rumors Put Out By Blogger

By: Kershaw St. JawnsonCategory: Rumors

Video blogger Tasha K continues to target high-profile rappers with gossip and the sharing of information about their personal lives. This time she is aiming at Houston’s own Megan Thee Stallion, claiming on an Instagram Live with Nicki Minaj that the “Hottie” star damaged singer and influencer Teyana Taylor’s home.

As reported by AllHipHop.com, Tasha K, who was found guilty of defamation after going to trial with Cardi B, said to the Queen of the Barbz, “We’re just talking about Megan. You know she done fu***d up Teyana Taylor’s house. Teyana had to sell that house. You know Megan was renting that house, and that’s why [she] and [stylist E.J. King] fell out.”

https://youtu.be/nFMurY1vPxg


While the “Savage” rapper didn’t go blow for blow with the YouTuber, she did let her rebuttal be known in a very casual way. She liked a tweet from another blogger named Ken Barbie who shared the house Tasha K was talking about. This was not the same house that was jacked of $300K to $400K in jewelry, cash, and electronics during a burglary.

Ken Barbie wrote, “Meg rented from Teyana from a very short period in 2019 and left very early 2020. Teyana just sold the home nearly a month ago, it is not the same home of Meg’s that was recently burglarized. Tasha also raised false allegations on Meg’s fall out with her former stylist EJ King.”

Tasha K jumped into the comments and said, “And tell your minion blogger. He got the story wrong… ain’t nobody say nothing about Teyana selling that home because of you. What I said was is that she is selling the home@she let you rent & damaged! And now that your home was burglarized, she don’t care cause Karma is a b****! Is what I said!”

Adding, “You damaged that lady house. She had to run you down for her bread. Ej suggested you rent out one of her homes to that lady. On top of of trying to skip out on damages and back rent. Ej had to run you down for his 80k in work he did for you! Meg please! Yeah you rented the home then, but they both had to run you down for the bread you owed them… Ej!!😱😱.”

One fan wrote something so many have been thinking, “Tasha ain’t learned her lesson yet??”

As reported by AllHipHop.com, Tasha K still owes Cardi B $3.8 million.

J Young MDK Talks New Single “Misconceptions”

By: Shirley JuCategory: Music

J Young MDK is back with his newest single and visual, titled “Misconceptions.”

The mood of the song will take you to a time when old school rap was the move, and the visual sees J Young MDK giving us a freestyle as he cruises along a busy city.

The track is currently rumored to be a hit on his upcoming album that will be released later this year.

He’s already known by the masses as his hard work, and friendly demeanor has provided him with an incredible reputation. 

In 2020 alone, he made music history by debuting two albums of two different genres on the same day! After releasing a third that same year, fans were sold on the staying power surrounding J Young MDK. 

His most recent move includes creating a hip-hop track for Netflix’s #1 movie this summer, “Day Shift.” Young, his mentor Jamie Foxx, Snoop Dogg, and Sam Harmonix manifested the single “(Bud) Mowing Down Vamps” in honor of the smash film.

No stranger to featuring films, J Young MDK has had his own luck in the acting field. In 2022, a film he had been diligently working on, “Mixed Girl,” dropped. 

Young humbly played his heart out as the lead role, giving him a nomination for “Outstanding Actor in a Short Film.” The Micheaux Film Festival in L.A also nominated him for “Outstanding Dramatic Actor in a Short Film.”

Back on the music end, he has quite a year, performing beside Latto during her nationwide Monster Outbreak Presents: Latto 777 Tour. He also released an infectious single, “Slow Motion,” in the spring. Looks like it now has some stiff competition with “Misconceptions!”

AllHipHop: What’s the inspiration behind your new single “Misconceptions?”

J Young MDK: “Misconceptions” is about people who really don’t know me ,but they think they know me via social media or the outside looking in. Some think they know how I grew up and others think they know what it took for me to get where I’m at. Essentially, I created this song to give a little more insight of who I am.

AllHipHop: As a solo artist, if you could collaborate with any artist, who would that be?

J Young MDK: I’m a fan of a lot of artists and I would love to work with too many to name. However, to name a few, Drake, André 3000, Rick Ross, Adele, Jay Z, and WizKid.

AllHipHop: Do you have anything else you want to share?

J Young MDK: I just want to tell the fans that I have a lot more music coming out soon as well as film projects that I’m excited to share soon. We’re also giving back tremendously this holiday season. I have some projects coming up with the American Diabetes Association as well as the American Foundation of Suicide Prevention’s “Out of Darkness Walks” slated for November.

Kanye West Dropped By CAA Talent Agency Over Antisemitism

By: Justin IveyCategory: News

CAA cut ties with Kanye West in wake of his antisemitic remarks.

The talent agency represented Kanye West for his touring. He signed with CAA in 2016.

CAA joined the growing list of businesses dropping Kanye West over his antisemitism. Last week, the Balenciaga fashion house ended its relationship with ‘Ye. Film studio MRC shelved a recently completed documentary about the controversial rapper.

“We cannot support any content that amplifies his platform,” MRC said in a statement on Monday (October 24).

Kanye West’s ex-wife Kim Kardashian also addressed his antisemitism on Monday. The reality TV star didn’t mention her ex-husband by name but condemned hate speech on social media.

“Hate speech is never OK or excusable,” she wrote. “I stand together with the Jewish community and call on the terrible violence and hateful rhetoric towards them to come to an immediate end.”

Earlier this month, Instagram and Twitter locked Kanye West’s accounts over his antisemitic posts. He continued to make antisemitic comments in subsequent interviews, including a since-deleted episode of Drink Champs.

The Drink Champs interview included false claims about the late George Floyd, who was murdered by police in 2020. George Floyd’s family filed a $250 million lawsuit against ‘Ye for defamation and emotional distress.

Khloé Kardashian subtly addressed her former brother-in-law Kanye West’s antisemitism controversy.

The “Stronger” rapper, who used to be married to Khloé’s sister Kim, has been hitting the headlines this month by making controversial and offensive remarks about Jewish people on social media and in a series of interviews.

On Sunday, Khloé became the first member of the Kardashian-Jenner family to address Kanye’s antisemitic comments on her Instagram Stories.

She reshared a post by author and philanthropist Jessica Seinfeld, which reads, “I support my Jewish friends and the Jewish people.”

Actress Reese Witherspoon also voiced her support for the Jewish community on Sunday by tweeting, “Anti-semitism in any form is deplorable. In person. Online. Doesn’t matter where. It’s hate and it’s unacceptable. Completely understand why my Jewish friends/ colleagues are frightened for their families. This is a very scary time.”

They join Amy Schumer, who condemned Kanye’s behavior in an interview with Extra last week.

“Kanye West is an anti-Semite and hating Jewish people and spreading hate speech. These social media outlets, they need to embrace their own rules. They need to enforce their own rules. I found out 84 per cent of hateful tweets they are just allowed to continue. They don’t take them down… We can’t allow that, it’s harmful,” she said.

On Friday, luxury fashion house Balenciaga cut ties with Kanye over his comments, and a spokesperson for U.S. Vogue confirmed that neither the magazine nor its editor-in-chief Anna Wintour intends to work with the rapper again.

There is also an ongoing campaign calling for sportswear giant Adidas to sever its partnership with Kanye.

Vogue And Longtime Friend Anna Wintour Severs Ties With Ye

Rapper Kanye West continues to receive backlash in the fashion industry after spewing antisemitic speech about Jewish people, wearing (and promoting) a White Lives Matter shirt, and picking public fights with major influencers in that space.

According to Page Six, Vogue magazine has joined the list of people publicly blacklisting the controversial artist.

The Bible of Couture and its editor-in-chief Anna Wintour have said they will not be working with Ye ever again, severing a 13-year personal relationship between the fashion icon and the troubled star.

The two met in 2009 at the annual Met Gala and five years later featured his wedding to now-ex-wife Kim Kardashian on one of Vogue’s covers in 2014. 

Wintour even rocked Ye’s shades to help him launch his fledgling brand.

At the top of the month, Anna Wintour was instrumental in trying to heal the Yeezy-inflicted wound between West and one of her editors, Gabriella Karefa-Johnson. 

Earlier this fall, AllHipHop.com reported that Gap and Balenciaga cut ties and ended several billion-dollar deals with Kanye because of his crude comments—including saying George Floyd was not killed by former officer Derek Chauvin.

As a result, the Floyd estate is suing the DONDA chart-topper for $250,000.

Also, rapper N.O.R.E. publicly apologized for not checking him in a recent interview with the “Drink Champs” podcast.
