Kanye West Products Reportedly No Longer Being Accepted By Goodwill

    Kanye West has been dropped by several companies and organizations in recent weeks following various anti-Semitic comments he’s made, and it looks like he can now add another to the list.

    On Friday (October 28), Goodwill reportedly sent a memo out to its stores, instructing them to remove all Yeezy items and announce that it would no longer be accepting any products made by Ye.

    “As we strive to maintain the most up to date product information on Elevated Brands available to sell,” a memo doing the rounds on social media stated, “We are sensitive to current events and take action when designers and brands do not align with our Mission and RISE values.”

    The alleged memo continued: “We are currently removing the sale of Adidas Yeezy brand products from all channels, Retail Stores, Boutiques, eCommerce and Outlets, as well as from out Elevated Brands tool.”

    The memo went on to explain that Goodwill’s eCommerce division will no longer be accepting any Kanye West products and that it’ll cease online sales of the product, while any Yeezy products found on store shelves must be removed and placed in trash bags.

    The reports involving Goodwill arrive at the end of a tumultuous week for Kanye West, who saw the dissolution of his deal with adidas, resulting in the embattled rapper’s net worth plunging from $1.9 billion to $400 million. His Donda Sports agency also lost NFL player Aaron Donald and NBA star Jaylen Brown as clients.

    After being hit with a $250 million lawsuit from the family of George Floyd and doubling down on anti-Semitic comments made across social media and in several controversial interviews, Kanye West issued an apology to the Jewish communityduring an equally charged chat with Piers Morgan Uncensored.

    On Friday (October 28), Ye also walked back his statements about the manner in which Floyd was killed.

    “When I see that video as a Black person, it hurts my feelings,” West said while surrounded by paparazzi. “And I know that police do attack [sic] and that America is generally racist. And I understand that when we got to say Black Lives Matter, the idea of it made us feel good together as a people. Now, afterwards there was some things where the money went in order to push us to the Democratic vote.”

    “So when I questioned the death of George Floyd, it hurt my people,” he continued. “I want to apologize. Because God has showed me by what adidas is doing, by what the media is doing, I know what it feels to have a knee on my neck right now.

    “So thank you God for humbling me and letting me know how it really felt,” Kanye West added. “Because how could the richest Black men ever be humbled other than to be made to not be a billionaire in front of everyone off a comment.”

    1. Ahhh man. You know you down bad and sunken to a lonely dark place when even Goodwill won’t take any of your products

    2. Ahhh man. You know you down bad and sunken to a lonely dark place when even Goodwill won’t take any of your products

      1. I love this comment. So true. Humility and silence….2 things Mr. West needs to revel in and have a seat and be still for a minute.

    3. So.. maybe ask the people who shop at goodwill if they care who makes the clothes. Goodwill is supposed to provide services and goods to those in need, now they are limiting the supply. They care more about themselves than the community. That’s not cool for a nonprofit organization.

      1. Yeah ok retard, such a good look for a charity to be associated with an open antisemite/lunatic. I bet that won’t affect donations at all right??……derrrrrp

      2. If you ask anyone I doubt t they even knew goodwill had Yeezy shit. The point is there is clothing that could be go8ng to people who need it, instead it will be going to collectors who will resell for way more than it is worth. I say you clothe the people who are in need. Did Goodwill stop selling Tommy? And if they did, was there some public statement? People pick and choose which things to get offended by. Acting like they care about people when they only care about their image.

      3. Now I can agree and this is an argument I stand on and I how not alone excuse my wording but what the fu** does this man’s brand & comment have to do with a so called non profit business when well in doubt they profit daily off of donations meant to help others in confused by far contradiction at an all time high & only the blind don’t see that wake tf up every one that is suing this man is garbage and inhumane by far wrist point is being proven by defaming him and his fortune to only say now u have no$ so u won’t be seen well your wrong in many ways thing is everyone us losing while he’s gaining still hiding his pride you all feel is hurting him the more u push him the harder he pushes vack no I don’t stand for him personally but then they’re has to be understanding his rights are being violated especially his 1st amendment right(Freedom of Speech) or is that all bullshit to.. simply 1 nation under God is what we were taught now stand on it and don’t come for me I will never back down from what I believe is right I don’t care stop it.

      4. It’s actually explained in one of the above responses already. Yes this id a nonprofit organization, one who relies heavily on donations from businesses and ordinary charitable good people. If they are seen to be still involved with a mentally unstable and openly antisemitic racist, they could lose their patrons. This is obviously much more important to the charity than some Yeezy items from China

      5. What we all need to understand is that free of speech goes both way. You have the right to say whatever you want and others have the right to disagree and boycott the companies that sponsor you. The companies have the right to care nothing about the ones boycotting them and keep selling as much as they can. But, when they start losing money because the ones boycotting their products are more than the ones buying them, they have the right to drop the person that made the comments.
        Also, in a tight market, as we now have, the employees of those companies tthat feel outrage about the comments have the right to quit and look for another company more aligned with their principles. The companies have the right not to care about those leaving or do something about it.

        At the end, free speech has not been violated, it just bring consequences.

        The problem is that most people that whine about their free of speech, do not have the knowledge to understand what it means. The government has nothing to do with what Kanye said and others did. At the end, it was all his own doing, and he has noone to blame but himself.

      6. I don’t support Kanye’s comments at all and this isn’t even a free speech argument at the moment. My point is this is a charitable organization supposed to help people in need. They are limiting supply to those in need because of something this person said. However, they still provide clothes and goods from organizations with sweatshops. This is selective outrage and virtue signaling.

      7. When Lil Nas X got done Doggystyle by satan on TV and hugely disrespected all of Christianity that way, was there any kind retribution by record labels or streaming services for that? Or is there a certain bias being played out?

      8. Would you be just as outraged if he was being done doggy style by Mohammed and disrespecting Islam? Last I checked this country was founded on the principle of freedom of religious persecution. Even if it’s been anything but.

      9. Calling people retard at the same time criticizing that person for a comment regarding prejudiced language is asinine.

    4. This just goes to show you how fame + social media can accelerate the downfall of a man. I sincerely hope he doesn’t end up pretty bad!!! You know…that breaking news ish from TMZ!!!

      1. And they charge too much for clothing it’s crazy when you could buy same items priced at a discount clothing store brand new

      2. Former Goodwill employee here, and I could write a book about the bs I witnessed and experienced myself in that place. Guarantee any Yeezys they did have, never even saw the sales floor unless they were too beat up to put online for top dollar smdh…

    5. everyone dropping him also will lose money also. At least ye still has support of fans. And who the hell gives away Yeezys to goodwill without selling elsewhere for decent money. Goodwill will lose out on people looking for discontinued Yeezys and buying a few more items while shopping

    6. ye is over. he disgraced himself with the bootleg hotep black hebrew comments. in the end he’s just wrong about everything. there’s no god. no white god no white devil no entity out there that cares either way about anyone’s conscious existence. no need for me to preach on it though

    7. D… Your whole line look like homeless people apparel for italian luxury prices. Never saw the appeal though respected the hustle. If you can get people to drastically overpay thats on the dumbass consumer

      1. What a lot of people don’t realize and remember is that this man Kanye is suffering from a mental illness called bipolar disorder and I’m pretty sure manic depression. That is why all these uncensored are unprovoked statements are coming from him. He has no control over his action at thiscpoint. He doesn’t seem to have any real family in his corner since his mom passed. All he’s surrounded with is people who earn a living from him. His ex wife tried to have him baker acted some time back. I think he needs a true friend to have him go see a psychiatrist and get him the right medication for his illness. I feel sorry for him, because there’s no one who really cares about this man’s wellbeing

    8. How far has the mighty fallen! Now he finally apologized I thought he was thinking nothing could happen to him. Ye, It aint over. He got a day in court and he sure gonna lose some more money. George Floyd’s family is gonna get paid too. I only hope ye doesn’t commit suicide at the end of the day. Now he wishes he had listened when he was asked to apologize.

    9. He is not sorry, his selective craziness is trying to save the situation. He messed with his own people and nothing happened so he felt like a God,invencible. He end up messing with wrong ones. Kanye is racist, arrogant and insecure. He don’t even like his own people, his white ex wife respects and helps more black people than him. His comments only hurts us.

    11. Well how stupid are they? Goodwill not taking in product that helps the poor and homeless? So bc u don’t like what’s being said on the internet, your punishing the people that are doing without? 🙄 Christmas is right around the bend, I grew up very poor with a single parent and 4 other siblings and if it weren’t for the Goodwill and Salvation Army, some years we would have had nothing to eat or a presents for Christmas. Hmm 🤨

    12. This is bs goodwill need all the help they can get. This is not about you this is about to helping people and its not like you give it away.

    13. I shop goowill every day ,never seen ye shoes u for get workers at goodwill see the items first so ye shoes don’t make it to the shelves.

    14. With all that is going on in the US and the world, this is about the dumbest damn thing to be worrying about. Guy makes a stupid comment and loses millions. Enough said. Cancel culture sucks. We used to be able to have an opinion. And if was stupid it reflected on us. I miss those days.

    15. I dont know why but Kanye sounds like a moron. I’ve been waiting for a long time for the companies to turn on him. He’s only apologetic now cuz he’s not getting ignored for his bs; he’s losing money and being taken seriously for the crap that comes out of his mouth . We just should ignore him and not sponsor or support anything he does. Total narcissist!

    16. Kanye wasn’t wrong though lets be honest. It’s just that he picked the wrong crowd to speak the truth on. Everybody knows Jews run sh*t.

    17. “Kanye said mean things folks. Just buy the clothing made by Asian slaves, so you can sleep with peace of mind while virtue signaling about how evil slavery is and how it still effects Americans today”.

    19. This is why they leave the third verse out of the national anthem… Ye you exposed the hireling and slave. You also how easy and how they view black as a human, as well as the unity in tearing us down… wow that was fast

    20. While Ye’ was insensitive to a raw subject..he is entitled to his opinion..
      Lord help us when we all have to think alike..and it’s sad how some have used Mr Floyd’s tragic death and exploited him.
      He was deserving of respect..the same respect alm humans deserve..and this whole thing disgusts me.
      There are alot of young children who love Ye’ products..guess Goodwill thinks more people will shop there if another black man is judged…get real…
      All they are doing is muddying the water…jmo

    23. They more they try to damage him the more they prove his point. And all this time, I thought old white American men had the power… man was I wrong.

    24. For starters i hate kanye, i’ve never liked him as a person but I also seperate everything personal from business because i’m not insane and i will not ever support any type of business that cancels an artist or product because of how it looks for them, this type of sh*t greasy ass hell man

    26. So this “charity” is THROWING AWAY good clothing that could goto a less fortunate person because they dont want to make a PROFIT off the inappropriate comments of the companies proprietor.
      If anything they should clothe ALL the less fortunate and make his clothes line less popular

    27. trash. the fact a homeless or poor shopping place wont accept clothes due to him dunkin on the israelites is insane. FINALLY SOMEONE SAID IT. they own everything u watch.
