This change in representation comes days after the rapper shared several slur-ridden posts on X
Kanye West is being dropped by his talent agency following his antisemitic rants online.
On Monday, Feb. 10 in an Instagram Stories post, music agent Daniel McCartney of 33&West wrote: “Effective immediately, I’m no longer representing YE (F/K/A Kanye West) due to his harmful and hateful remarks that myself nor 33 & West can stand for.”
He signed off his post, writing “peace and love to all.”

West, 47, being dropped by his agency comes days after he posted a slur-ridden rant on X on Thursday, Feb. 6, and over a week after his unexpected appearance at the 2025 Grammy Awards.
The disgraced rapper praised Adolf Hitler and defended Sean “Diddy” Combs, who is currently in jail awaiting trial in May for several federal sex crimes. (After being indicted in September for charges of sex trafficking, racketeering and transportation to engage in prostitution, Diddy, 55, has pleaded not guilty and has been denied bail three times).
West also mentioned X owner Elon Musk’s one-armed salute that he gave at Donald Trump’s inauguration (which Musk responded to, saying “The ‘everyone is Hitler’ attack is sooo tired”).

Elsewhere in his hateful rant, West called antisemitism “just some bulls— Jewish people made up” and said that he was “never apologizing for my Jewish comments.”
On Monday, Feb. 10, Variety reported that West’s X account had been deactivated. The defunct profile page reads: “This account doesn’t exist.” It is unclear whether West was removed from the social media platform or if he deactivated his own account.

West was previously barred from X (known as Twitter at the time) in 2022 after posting that he wanted to go “death con 3 on Jewish people,” as per The Hollywood Reporter.
His previous antisemitic remarks lost him brand deals with Adidas, Balenciaga and Gap.
