Talent agency 33 & West has officially terminated their representation of Kanye West following a series of controversial actions and antisemitic remarks. Daniel McCartney, the agency's representative, announced the immediate termination, citing West's "harmful and hateful remarks" as incompatible with the agency's values.

This decision follows several controversial incidents involving West:

  • A Super Bowl ad campaign promoting Yeezy.com featuring merchandise with antisemitic symbols
  • An antisemitic social media tirade on X/Twitter on February 7
  • A controversial appearance at the Grammys with his wife Bianca Censori
  • Multiple public statements expressing admiration for Hitler and Nazi ideology

The termination adds to West's growing list of professional consequences. In 2022, Adidas ended their $1 billion+ partnership with him, causing his net worth to drop from $2 billion to $400 million overnight.

Most recently, West faces legal action from a former marketing staffer who filed a lawsuit in Los Angeles Superior Court. The lawsuit alleges:

  • Wrongful termination
  • Targeted harassment of Jewish employees
  • Antisemitic text messages, including "I am a Nazi" and "Welcome to the first day of working for Hitler"

This latest development marks another significant professional setback for West, who has lost multiple business partnerships and representation deals over the past two years due to his controversial statements and behavior.
