Balenciaga has ended ties with Kanye West following a recent run of controversial statements, including an outburst denounced as anti-Semitic, according to fashion news site WWD.
"Balenciaga has no longer any relationship nor any plans for future projects related to this artist," a representative for Kering, the parent company of the Parisian fashion house, told WWD.
It follows weeks of particularly erratic behaviour from West — now known as Ye.
He made a surprise appearance earlier this month for his brand Yeezy at Paris Fashion Week, sporting the controversial slogan "White Lives Matter", widely considered a racist response to the Black Lives Matter movement.
The artist, 45, then lashed out on social media against former colleagues and friends and a leading fashion journalist who criticised the move, including Kering boss Bernard Arnault.
West had already broken off his partnership with Gap last month, with both sides saying they were no longer pulling in the same direction.
Adidas announced earlier this month that it was putting its own tie-up with Kanye "under review".
Balenciaga and Kering did not respond to requests for comment.
Ye appeared as a model in Balenciaga's most recent Paris show, wearing a military-style outfit in a mud pit. Images of him from the show were no longer visible on the Balenciaga website on Thursday.
The rapper has a long-running relationship with Balenciaga's creative director Demna, and they launched a tie-up line of clothing earlier this year.
Ye has been open about having bipolar disorder. A recent Netflix documentary, Jeen-Yuhs, laid bare his ongoing mental health problems.
Ye's recent comments led to his accounts on Twitter and Instagram being restricted.
Earlier this week, he announced he was buying conservative social media platform Parler.
"In a world where conservative opinions are considered to be controversial we have to make sure we have the right to freely express ourselves," he said.
