Kanye West has commented on the Balenciaga situation. The rapper, who is also known for his fashion creativity, recently broke his ties with Balenciaga, Adidas, and GAP. This came as a result of their different opinions and Ye’s controversial statements on various things, including anti-Semitism. Although the rapper claims that these big brands have their own shortcomings.
Remember when Balenciaga dropped Kanye West for being anti-semitic? Well, here is their new campaign featuring children, teddy bears in bondage and court papers that talk about pedo stuff. Seems like they no longer have the moral high ground #Balenciaga pic.twitter.com/7UQjBIpac3

Kanye West has spoken up about Balenciaga and fans have mixed reactions
Kanye West has made some bold claims yet again, this time on fashion house Balenciaga. The rapper said, “all of these celebrities out here, don’t let them influence you because they are controlled by the people who really influence the world.” He was referring to celebrities that have kept mum about Belanciaga’s highly criticized advertisement campaign, which showcases young girls holding bonded teddy bears and more.
Although the fashion brand immediately removed the campaign upon receiving criticism and apologized, there are questions as to how it was allowed to be shot in the first place. The video of Ye speaking with TMZ is on social media now, and fans have some mixed reactions to his comments.

Tweets pointed at how the brand swiftly swept the big controversy under the rug with an apology. Alot of fans agree how Kanye was right about the whole fiasco and how some celebrities are controlled by brands. Both Kim Kardashian and Ye would endorse Balenciaga. While Ye left, the Kardashian is still in splits about her partnership with the brand.
