According to reports, Wednesday night (Oct. 12) Hip-Hop mogul Kanye West addressed all of the brands that dropped him over his recent social media rants as he left the screening of Candace Owen’s new anti-Black Lives Matter documentary. Before labeling himself “the richest Black man in American history” Kanye West referred to Adidas and JP Morgan Chase and said:

“Hey, if you call somebody out for bad business, that means you’re being anti-Semitic. I feel happy to have crossed the line of that idea so we can speak openly about things like getting canceled by a bank.”

Yesterday (Oct. 12) Candace Owens announced that JP Morgan Chase is giving the fashion designer until November to find a new banking institution to hold his multibillion-dollar company Yeezy. Candace Owens tweeted:

“Earlier today I learned that @kanyewest was officially kicked out of JP Morgan Chase bank. I was told there was no official reason given, but they sent this letter as well to confirm that he has until late November to find another place for the Yeezy empire to bank.”

The letter read:

Dear Ye, We are sending this letter to confirm our recent discussion with [redacted name] that JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. (The Bank) has decided to end its banking relation with Yeezy LLC and its affiliated entities.”

JP Morgan Chase dropping the “All Falls Down” artist comes after he made several anti-Semitic comments over the weekend. As previously reported, controversy surfaced on the internet after the 45-year-old labeled the Black Lives Matter movement a “scam” followed by a “white lives matter” t-shirt presentation at Paris Fashion Week. The father of four’s social media accounts were restricted after he took to Instagram to share a conversation between him and Diddy, threatening to use Diddy as “an example” to the Jewish people.
