🔹The rapper, formerly known as Kanye West, was escorted from Skechers’s corporate office in Los Angeles after showing up unannounced and uninvited, according to the footwear company.

Two company executives removed Ye and many individuals after the rapper engaged in “unauthorized filming” at the office, the company said in a statement on Wednesday, local time.

Skechers, the world’s third-largest footwear brand by revenue, said it had no intention of working with Ye and did not tolerate anti-Semitism and other hate speech amid controversy over the rapper’s inflammatory remarks about Jewish people. The incident comes after Adidas ended its partnership with Ye over “unacceptable, hateful and dangerous” statements about Jewish people, despite the rapper claiming the sportswear company could not drop him for making anti-Semitic comments.

🤔 UN Humanitarian Chief Martin Griffiths has revealed that he doesn’t know where the money promised by the developed countries to the most vulnerable nations to cope with climate change-induced disasters such as famine and drought has gone.

🗣 “The truth of the matter is that we are scrambling to try to understand where the climate money is that was promised a decade ago. Where is it? Who’s holding it and who is not delivering it to places like Somalia?” Griffiths asked.

The UN’s undersecretary-general for humanitarian affairs also highlighted that he had “failed” to get an explanation from a number of unnamed governments about how decisions concerning climate financing have been made and how the aid was being delivered.

The statement came as Oxfam International, the organization fighting poverty with a headquarters in Nairobi, Kenya, estimated that instead of the $100Bln a year promised by those who took part in the UN climate change conference in 2009, developed countries had mobilized between $21Bln and $24.5Bln.
