Adidas, Gap, Balenciaga have all cut ties with Ye, formerly known as Kanye West.
The retail giant told FOX Business in an emailed statement on Wednesday that it does not tolerate "discrimination, harassment or hate of any kind."
"We have instructed our buying teams not to purchase this merchandise for sale in any of our stores globally," TJ Maxx said. This move comes after other companies severed ties with the artist following pressure from social media users. Kanye West has lost endorsement deals as a result of anti-Semitic comments made by the music star, known to most now as Ye." LiveNOW from FOX's Josh Breslow spoke with Pamela Nadell, the director of the Jewish studies department at American University about the impact on the Jewish community.
