'Crocs better turn off the lights': Kanye West BRUTALLY trolled after Skechers escorts him out

'Skechers is owned and operated by a Jewish family, Kanye showing up and not knowing,' a user said on social media

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Rapper Kanye West was recently kicked out of Skechers headquarters in Manhattan Beach, California, on Wednesday, October 26. Kanye was seen at Skechers headquarters after Adidas ended its partnership with his brand, Yeezy over his antisemitic comments.

Meanwhile, Kanye, who recently changed his name to 'Ye' visited the headquarters of the shoe company unannounced. The company's official statement claimed they do not intend to associate with the rapper as they "do not tolerate antisemitism or any other form of hate speech."

Recently, The 45-year-old rapper also admitted his faults on 'Piers Morgan Uncensored'. Still, his apology seemed half-hearted as he said he was only "sorry for the people that I hurt" and that he is a "different type of freedom fighter," when Morgan asked if he was sorry for saying "death con 3 on Jewish people." Morgan then proceeded to ask the rapper, "Racism is racism, and you know that I think, don't you?" after urging him to apologize. To this, Ye answered, "Yes, obviously, that's why I said it." In an effort to clarify, the host asked, "So, you said it knowing it's racist?" West replied, "Yes. I fought fire with fire. I'm not here to get hosed down. I'm a different type of freedom fighter."

When it comes to Kanye being escorted out of Skechers Headquarters, it is to be noted that both, the company's CEO, Robert Greenberg, and its current president, Michael Greenberg, are Jewish, reported DailyMail. The internet was quick to react to this move from Skechers. A user said, "Skechers is owned and operated by a Jewish family. Kanye showing up and not knowing." Another claimed, "He is done, it was a long time coming, but it's finally here."

Meanwhile, Rex Huppke, a famous columnist tweeted, "I mean, there *might* be something funnier than Kanye West getting escorted out of Skechers headquarters, but I'm struggling to figure out what it would be." I speak for everyone when I say we will NOT and I repeat WILL NOT be buying Skechers. Another tweet claimed, "Crocs better turn off the lights and pretend they’re not home. Crazy Ye is coming!."

However, Jon Cooper, Former National Finance Chair of Draft Biden stated, "Who else thinks it’s AWESOME that Kanye West was escorted out of the corporate office of Skechers in LA after he showed up unannounced?" Tristan Snell, a famous lawyer and founder of Mainstreet law, wondered, "After Adidas dropped Kanye West, he showed up today at the LA office of another shoe company, unannounced and uninvited, with a film crew. He was escorted out. The company was Skechers. Yes, this really happened."

Skechers, as a brand, belongs to the Greenberg family, a Jewish family. According to Forbes, Robert and Michael tried different ways of earning a living, including a hair salon, starting a wig wholesaler, importing antique clocks, selling electronic tweezers, and operating a roller skate shop. However, the Skechers family became one of the premium shoe brands today after they opened a Women's apparel store in LA gear and later started importing sneakers. A few months later, his son Michael joined him in the business, and he said to Forbes, "We both loved the shoe business and were ready to keep going. It didn't take long before all of us (the family) came together and decided to start Skechers." 

However, on Saturday, October 22, an antisemitic group openly demonstrated their support for Kanye West by hanging a banner over the 405 Freeway in Los Angeles that read, "Kanye is right about the Jews," as more and more individuals distance themselves from Ye, formerly known as Kanye West. A banner read, "Honk If You Know," and another that displayed Bible passages. Several people holding the banners lifted their arms in a Nazi salute. According to Complex, Anti-Defamation League (ADL) describes the white nationalist group, Goyim Defense League, as a "loose network of individuals connected by their virulent antisemitism," and states that it was responsible for the display, as per the nonpartisan nonprofit Stop Antisemitism.
