It's getting lonely around Kanye West.
After his numerous anti-Semitic hate messages, according to media reports, his artist agency Creative Artists Agency (CAA) has now kicked him out.
CAA is recognized as the most influential talent and sports agency in the world.
Recently, various other cooperation partners had already separated from the US rapper, who is now called Ye.
One of the largest partners West still has is the sporting goods manufacturer Adidas.
But there is also growing pressure on them to end the collaboration.
At the beginning of October, Adidas had already announced that it was “putting the partnership to the test”.
A decision has not yet been made.
The Central Council of Jews, among others, is now calling on the German company to part with West.
"The rapper's daily new anti-Semitic derailments are unbearable for the Jews in Germany and all over the world," said the President of the Central Council, Josef Schuster, to the editorial network Germany (RND).
That's why Adidas must "immediately stop working with Kanye West."
Documentary about West will not be released
A documentary film about West that had already been produced by the film and television studio MRC was also shelved.
A statement on the MRC website reads: "Kanye is a producer and sampler of music.
Last week he sampled and remixed a classic that has been in the charts for over 3,000 years - the lie that Jews are evil and conspiring to control the world for their own gain.
West's ex-wife Kim Kardashian previously distanced herself from the rapper.
Now she has followed up on Twitter.
“Hate speech is never okay or excusable.
I stand with the Jewish community and call for an immediate end to the horrific violence and hateful rhetoric directed at them," Kardashian wrote on Twitter.
Other prominent voices from the media industry also condemn West's anti-Semitic statements.
In the past few months, West has repeatedly caused discussions with controversial public comments on social networks.
He was blocked from both Instagram and Twitter for controversial, sometimes anti-Semitic postings.
At a fashion show in Paris, he wore a shirt with the implicitly racist statement "White Lives Matter".
On his Instagram account he added again: The "Black Lives Matter" movement was a scam.
