- Music agent Daniel McCartney announces the removal of Kanye West from his agency.
- McCartney argues that West's comments are offensive and unacceptable.
- The move follows West's rant on X, where he defended incarcerated rap mogul Sean Diddy Combs.
McCartney stated that neither he nor the firm could condone such language and included a message of unity and respect in his statement. On his Instagram Stories, McCartney wrote, "Effective immediately, I’m no longer representing YE (F/K/A Kanye West) due to his harmful and hateful remarks that neither I nor 33 & West can stand for."
The action came just days after West, 47, shared an incendiary rant on X (formerly Twitter) on February 6. In a series of posts, West praised Adolf Hitler and defended incarcerated rap mogul Sean Diddy Combs. Diddy, who is awaiting trial on federal crime charges, including sex trafficking and racketeering, has pleaded not guilty to all charges and has been denied bail multiple times.
During his social media rants, West denied the existence of antisemitism. He posted about antisemitism, claiming it was "just some bulls--- Jewish people made up," and added that he would "never apologize for [his] Jewish comments."
The latest fiasco follows Kanye West making headlines over his wife, Bianca Censori’s nudity at the 2025 Grammys. Censori recently responded to his comments on social media, writing, "Lord, I lift up my husband to You with love & concern," and adding, "Despite our differences, I love him unconditionally." By February 10, Kanye West's X account had been suspended. It remains unclear whether the site took down his profile or if he deactivated it himself.
