*Kanye West’s new album has been repeatedly rejected by Major Record Labels due to his alleged antisemitism.

West has recorded the entire album with Ty Dolla $ign, according to Metro

The hip-hop star is said to be shopping his new music around at smaller labels, Billboard reports.

Last year, West was seemingly blacklisted after ranting about Jewish people in the entertainment business and tweeting that he was going to go “death con 3 on Jewish people.”

As we reported previously, several companies and brands severed ties with Ye following backlash over his Jewish supremacy rants, including Balenciaga, Gap, and Footlocker. Adidas also parted ways with the rapper after his antisemitic remarks.

As Insider reported, citing the Financial Times, Adidas initially planned to sell the Yeezy merchandise under its own brand. The German company ultimately stopped production of Yeezy products as well as payments to the troubled rapper back in October 2022. 

When Ye appeared on the Info Wars podcast, he claimed to have “love” for Hitler and that he “sees good things about Hitler.”

Universal Music Group (UMG) also cut ties with Ye over his controversial comments.

A spokesperson for UMG previously told Billboard: “Def Jam’s relationship with Ye as a recording artist, Def Jam’s partnership with the Good Music label venture and Ye’s merchandise agreement with Bravado all ended in 2021.”

The statement added: ‘There is no place for antisemitism in our society. We are deeply committed to combating antisemitism and every other form of prejudice.”

Meanwhile, former ITV star Piers Morgan previously claimed he had a “lengthy text exchange” with Ye and that the artist “wasn’t just racist, and anti-Semitic, but horribly homophobic too – and his latest pro-Hitler rant is sadly more evidence he’s lost the plot,” Morgan revealed, per Metro.
