Kanye West Files For ‘YEWS’ Trademark For Clothing, Restaurant & More After Antisemitic Controversy

Apparently, Kanye West’s antisemitic controversy inspired him to add something to his brand! According to TMZ, Ye has filed trademark rights to the word “YEWS.”

The trademark was linked to Kanye after it was revealed the address on the filing matched that of an office of his on Melrose avenue.

The phrase will reportedly be used on “real estate, clothing, music and audio, entertainment content, beauty products, restaurants and more.”

If you can recall, Kanye was dropped by Adidas over his antisemitic comments. Which caused his net-worth to drop from billionaire status to 400M.

West’s outspoken views have received significant media coverage; he has been a frequent source of controversy due to his conduct on social media and at awards shows and public settings, as well as his comments on the music and fashion industries, U.S. politics, race, and slavery.

His Christian faith, high-profile marriage to Kim Kardashian, and mental health have also been topics of media attention. In 2020, West launched an unsuccessful independent presidential campaign that primarily advocated for a consistent life ethic.

In 2022, he was widely condemned and lost many sponsors and partnerships—including his collaborations with Adidas, Gap, and Balenciaga—after making a series of antisemitic statements, including denying the Holocaust.
