Kanye West is facing major fallout after being dropped by his talent agent and hit with a new lawsuit accusing him of antisemitic harassment. A former Jewish staffer has come forward with disturbing allegations, claiming West sent offensive messages, including texts that read “I Am A Nazi” and “Welcome to the first day of working for Hitler.” The lawsuit also states the employee was fired after allegedly being insulted by West. As the controversy spirals, his agent, Daniel McCartney of 33&West, publicly severed ties, citing West’s harmful remarks as the reason.
The backlash doesn’t stop there. West’s latest antisemitic rants on X, where he praised Adolf Hitler and dismissed antisemitism, led to his account being deactivated. Meanwhile, his wife, Bianca Censori, reportedly clashed with him over their headline-grabbing Grammy stunt. Celebrities like Charlie Puth have spoken out, urging him to stop spreading dangerous messages, while Shopify removed his swastika-branded t-shirts following public outrage.
