Kanye West's Talent Agent Cuts Ties Amid Anti-semitism Controversy

Kanye West has been dumped by his talent agent after he spouted explicit anti-Semitic comments.

The 47-year-old musician sparked international outrage when he issued social media posts praising Hitler and the Nazis over the weekend before releasing a t-shirt branded with a swastika on his Yeezy fashion website.

In light of the rapper's actions , tour manager Daniel McCartney has cut ties with the star - and slammed him for his behaviour.

Taking to Instagram Stories on Monday, the manager wrote: 'Effective immediately, I am no longer representing Ye F/K/A Kanye West due to his recent harmful and hateful remarks that myself nor talent agency 33 West can stand for. Peace and love to all.'

On Tuesday, West's fashion website, Yeezy, was shut down by the E-commerce platform Shopify due to the Nazi motif t-shirt, which violated sales terms.
