Maverick Carter, LeBron James’s business partner on the HBO show The Shop: Uninterrupted, announced the show’s recently taped episode featuring rapper and songwriter Kanye West (who now goes by Ye) will not air.
ESPN’s Justin Tinsley reported Ye did not back down from his use of antisemitic comments on the episode, the same comments he made during a recent Fox News interview. In an exclusive statement to ESPN’s Andscape, Carter—the CEO of SpringHill Entertainment—made the decision to not air the episode involving Ye.
Carter thought Ye was “capable of a respectful discussion” and “ready to address all his recent comments” that have generated a lot of reactions from media and fans.
