Gap has announced that it will officially begin pulling Yeezy Gap items from shelves, effective immediately, following Kanye West's antisemitic commentary this past week.
"Our former partner's recent remarks and behavior further underscore why. We are taking immediate steps to remove Yeezy Gap product from our stores and we have shut downYeezyGap.com," the company said in a statement. "Antisemitism, racism and hate in any form are inexcusable and not tolerated in accordance with our values. On behalf of our customers, employees and shareholders, we are partnering with organizations that combat hate and discrimination."
The official business contract between the two was terminated in September on behalf of Ye after he and his team sent a letter to Gap stating that the company failed to comply by terms initially stated in the agreement, including Yeezy Gap product being stocked in-store.
