T.J. Maxx Cuts Ties with Kanye West, Yeezy Amid Backlash for Anti-Semitism

T.J. Maxx is the latest company to pull the plug on Kanye West‘s Yeezy brand … following others’ decisions to cut ties due to the rapper’s anti-Semitic and bigoted comments.

TJX Companies — operators of T.J. Maxx, Marshalls, and Home Goods — announced its decision Wednesday … telling CNNBusiness, “At TJX we do not tolerate discrimination, harassment, or hate of any kind.
