Siren Records Will No Longer Carry Kanye West LPs, CDS

DOYLESTOWN, PA — The backlash over antisemitic remarks by rapper and recording artist Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, has reached downtown Doylestown.

Siren Records announced in a Facebook posting on Friday that it would no longer be carrying Kanye West's LPs or CDs. Ye is regarded as one of the greatest musicians of his generation.

"We will not support his abhorrent, unyielding and unapologetic vitriol against the Jewish community. Thank you for your understanding and for the many years of support," wrote the record store.

The decision by Siren is the latest in the fallout from Ye's recent comments on Twitter and in interviews, which, according to a Instagram post by Ye, cost him 2 billion dollars in one day in lost product endorsements and other income.

The Gap, Balenciaga, Adidas, Creative Arts Agency, Foot Locker and more have cut ties with Ye
following the remarks. Ye also stirred up trouble in Manhattan Beach Wednesday when he showed up at the Skechers corporate office uninvited.
