Skechers handles unexpected Ye visit, Ralph Lauren’s apology and more

Skechers responded quickly after Ye, the artist formerly known as Kanye West, showed up unannounced at one of its Los Angeles buildings.

TMZ reported that Ye was interested in finding a new partnership with Skechers after Adidas terminated their agreement after Ye’s antisemitic comments. Adidas hammered by the public and PR experts over not responding quicker to the situation.

Skechers said in a statement Wednesday that the controversial rapper arrived “without invitation” and was engaged in “unauthorized filming.”

Ye was escorted out of the building “after a brief conversation,” the statement said.
