The 'Gold Digger' rapper is said to have arrived at the building "unannounced and without invitation” and “was engaged in unauthorised filming".

He was then thrown out by two Sketchers executives.

The footwear brand has made it clear it has "no intention" of working with the 45-year-old Yeezy founder, who has been dropped by major brands including Adidas, plus his talent agency and lawyer, and lost his billionaire status after his net worth plummeted following his series of anti-Semitic outbursts.

It said in a statement: “Skechers is not considering and has no intention of working with West.

“We condemn his recent divisive remarks and do not tolerate antisemitism or any other form of hate speech.”

Before being dropped by Adidas, Kanye had declared that he could say whatever he wanted about Jewish people and that his contract with the brand would be safe.

He tweeted: "I can say antisemitic s*** and Adidas cannot drop me."

The controversial figure - who initially claimed he was going to "wake up going death con 3 on Jewish people" - has faced a slew of brands refusing to work with him because of his comments, including the likes of Vogue magazine.

A Vogue spokesperson said that "neither the magazine nor does its editor-in-chief Anna Wintour intend to work with Kanye West again".

And an insider claimed: "Anna has had enough. She has made it very clear inside Vogue that Kanye is no longer part of the inner

circle.”

Balenciaga also ended its relationship with Kanye, who only recently opened its summer 2023 show during Paris Fashion Week.

Parent company Kering said: "Balenciaga has no longer any relationship nor any plans for future projects related to this artist."
