Hollywood talent agency CAA cuts ties with Kanye West after antisemitic tirade

CAA, the prominent Hollywood talent agency, has stopped representing Ye amid a growing call to boycott the rapper formerly known as Kanye West.

The agency ended its relationship with Ye this month following his recent antisemitic outbursts in various interviews, according to a person with knowledge of the situation who was not authorized to speak publicly.

CAA is the latest business to end its relationship with the rapper over his remarks. Other leading entertainment industry figures including Endeavor CEO Ari Emanuel called on all companies that work with the musician to cut ties with him after he tweeted he wanted to go "death con 3" on Jewish people.

Ye has remained in demand in recent years despite flirting with extreme right-wing politics and engaging in verbal attacks on performers like Pete Davidson. His recent appearances with Candace Owens and Tucker Carlson, and provocations like wearing a “White Lives Matter” shirt, have proved too controversial for some firms to bear.

That's okay Ye. You still have the orange blob.
