Creative Artists Agency no longer represents Kanye West amid mounting calls to boycott the rapper.
Hollywood talent powerhouse Creative Artists Agency has cut ties with Kanye West, now legally known as Ye, following a series of antisemitic remarks by the artist.
The agency has officially dropped the rapper as a client, a source familiar with the matter confirmed to CBS MoneyWatch. On Monday, film and television studio MRC Entertainment also said it would scrap a completed documentary about the rapper. "Kanye is a producer and sampler of music. Last week he sampled and remixed a classic tune that has charted for over 3000 years — the lie that Jews are evil and conspire to control the world for their own gain," MRCCompanies and fashion brands have faced mounting pressure to stop doing business with West, despite his legions of fans and the lucrative nature of the commercial partnerships.
