Scooter Braun Ends Ties With Kanye West

Scooter Braun, the Jewish music executive and former manager of Kanye West from 2016 to 2018, has publicly cut ties with West after the rapper's recent antisemitic remarks and the release of a controversial song titled 'Heil Hitler.' Braun, whose grandparents survived the Holocaust, stated on the 'Question Everything' podcast that he no longer recognizes the man West has become and stressed the importance of standing proudly with his heritage. He explained that sometimes ending relationships is necessary when people change for the worse and said he now prioritizes his family and spreading positivity about the Jewish community. The split comes amid widespread backlash against West for promoting antisemitic views and Nazi symbolism. Braun also addressed his past feud with Taylor Swift, emphasizing the importance of moving on from toxic relationships. He has since shifted his focus away from artist management toward his personal life.
