Gap ‘Taking Immediate Steps’ to Remove Yeezy Gap Product From Stores
Written by SOURCE on October 25, 2022
Gap has issued a new statement in the wake of continued fallout from the artist formerly known as Kanye West’s anti-Semitic comments. In it, the company said “immediate steps” were being taken to remove Yeezy Gap product from its stores.
The statement, shared on Tuesday, noted that the Yeezy Gap partnership (initially slated to span a decade) had previously seen its end announced in September.
“Our former partner’s recent remarks and behavior further underscore why,” the new statement reads. “We are taking immediate steps to remove Yeezy Gap product from our stores and we have shut down [the Yeezy Gap site]. 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.”
Also on Tuesday, Adidas announced the immediate termination of its Yeezy deal.
