Kanye West recently came under fire for his anti-semitic remarks amid the ongoing White Lives Matter controversy. The rapper’s recent comments caused a stir leaving the fashion brands working with him being urged to take a stand. The rapper who is known to have collaborated with major brands in the industry seemed to have suffered a business blow.
It was recently reported that Adidas announced that their deal with the Jesus Walks rapper was “under review” and soon after it has now been reported that Balenciaga has also cut ties with West. Amid this ongoing business trouble, Kanye has reportedly hired new legal help to look at his business contracts and deals. The rapper hasn’t publicly responded to the brands taking a stand against him.

Vasquez shot to fame after she represented Depp in his defamation trial against ex-wife Amber Heard which went on for six weeks with the former winning the trial via jury verdict. Vasquez gained immense popularity during the highly publicised trial and later also shutdown “sexist” rumours of her and Depp’s romantic involvement.
