German sneaker maker Adidas AG is under mounting pressure to sever ties with Ye, after the rapper and designer formerly known as Kanye West made antisemitic remarks.

Ye has been facing growing fallout from comments over the past few weeks targeting Jewish people, including a tweet that resulted in Twitter suspending his account. Film and TV studio MRC said Monday it won’t release a recently completed documentary made with Ye, while over the past month he’s also been dropped by his concert-touring representative and luxury label Balenciaga said it has stopped working with him.
