Candace Owens claims JP Morgan cut ties with Kanye West amid anti-Semitic comments

JP Morgan Chase is allegedly the latest company to kick Kanye West to the curb amid backlash over his anti-Semitic comments.

Conservative commentator Candace Owens claimed via Twitter on Wednesday that the bank sent her pal an official letter of termination “with no official reason given.”

“I was told there was no official reason given, but they sent this letter as well to confirm that he has until late November to find another place for the Yeezy empire to bank,” the controversial figure tweeted along with a photo of the notice, but did not clarify when the note was sent.

The letter read, “Dear Ye, We are sending this letter to confirm our recent discussion with [redacted name] that JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. (The Bank) has decided to end its banking relation with Yeezy LLC and its affiliated entities.”

However, the bank gave the “Heartless” rapper, 45, until November to find a new entity to hold his multibillion-dollar brand.

The news comes after numerous other brands decided to part ways with the rapper following his social media tirades, where he has attacked brands like Gap and Adidas.

Additionally, West was locked out of his social media accounts after making several comments against Jewish people.

Per Variety, in a since-deleted tweet, West claimed that he couldn’t be anti-Semitic and said he had been “toyed with” by the “Jewish people.”

While his shocking comments led to backlash from celebrities and people all around the world, podcaster Van Lathan claimed his comments didn’t come as a surprise as Lathan had “already heard him say that stuff before.”

“I mean, I was taken aback because that type of anti-Semitic talk is disgusting. But as far as him, I knew that that was in him because when came to TMZ, he said that stuff and they took it out of the interview,” he alleged about Ye’s infamous 2018 interview with the outlet.

“When I saw [the new tweets], I was like, ‘Oh, I knew that this was eventually coming.’ As a matter of fact, I had anticipated it coming, like, way earlier than this,” he said, adding that West claimed he “loved Hitler and Nazis.”

Prior to his most recent comments, the rapper was under fire for wearing a “White Lives Matter” shirt to his Yeezy show and his daughter’s basketball game.
