After mentally-ill performer Kanye West’s recent anti-Semitic outburst, documentary film production company MRC decided it will not distribute or air its recently completed film about him, fearful of amplifying the hateful message West proffers, according to the Hollywood Reporter.
Additionally, West’s agent, CAA, announced Monday it had dropped West–who now childishly wants to go by the name “Ye” because “conservatives” like him think it’s perfectly okay to change how one is labeled at a whim–from its catalog of clients, the Los Angeles Times reports.
West has been craving attention since his political benefactor, Donald Trump has left office. Trump touted West, who mounted a presidential campaign briefly in 2020 as a political stunt likely engineered by the GOP to pull Black votes away from Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden as part of a fabricated campaign to portray Biden as a racist. Like many Black candidates running as Republicans, the GOP tends to produce minority candidates that it feels it can control or that it can use to try to sap Black votes from Democrats, as they believe Blacks are a singular bloc of the electorate that votes solely based on the color of skin, much the way Republicans will vote for any candidate, no matter how unqualified or mentally unstable, just because they have an (R) behind their name.
“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,” MRC stated. “This song was performed acapella in the time of the Pharaohs, Babylon and Rome, went acoustic with The Spanish Inquisition and Russia’s Pale of Settlement, and Hitler took the song electric. Kanye has now helped mainstream it in the modern era.”
West made a series of statements in the past few weeks that characterized Jewish people as a cabal running the world’s media. He was banned from Twitter after posting that he was going to go “death con 3 [sic] On JEWISH PEOPLE.”
