Kanye West showed up at Skechers office for a collab with Yeezy.
Earlier this week, Adidas ended their years-long partnership with Kanye West’s Yeezy over the rapper’s recent anti-semitic comments. Ye’s net worth reportedly dropped to $400 million from over a billion after the apparel brand cut ties with his footwear line.
According to the TMZ report, the Donda rapper arrived at Skechers corporate office in Los Angeles unannounced, and he was escorted out of the building. Kanye West “arrived unannounced and without invitation at one of Skechers’ corporate offices in Los Angeles. Considering Ye was engaged in unauthorized filming, two Skechers executives escorted him and his party from the building after a brief conversation” says reps for Skechers.
It looked like West didn’t know that Skechers is owned by a Jewish Family, the Greenbergs. “Skechers is not considering and has no intention of working with West. We condemn his recent divisive remarks and do not tolerate antisemitism or any other form of hate speech. Again, West showed up unannounced and uninvited to Skechers corporate offices,” they Added.

Kanye West’s recent remarks cost him business deals with Gap, Adidas, Balenciaga, talent agency CAA and more.
According to Forbes, Ye’s net worth has decreased from $1 billion to $400 million as a result of the broken Adidas contract. The rapper claimed in a post on Instagram that he lost “2 billion dollars in one day” due as for what he called a “love speech.”
In a new interview on Lex Fridman Podcast, the rapper again offered an apology to the Jewish people that he hurt and made an explanation about his comments.
