Celebrity Gig

Embattled musician showed up uninvited and unannounced at Skechers corporate offices in LA earlier today.

According to a company statement, he was also “engaged in unauthorized filming.”

After a brief conversation, two Skechers executives escorted Ye, his new legal name, and his party out of the building.

“Skechers is not considering and has no intention of working with West,” the company said. “We condemn his recent divisive remarks and do not tolerate antisemitism or any other form of hate speech.”
