Kanye West’s ‘business downfall being plotted by leaders in tech, fashion and music – and Donald Trump is behind them’

A NUMBER of "hugely influential" names in politics and industry have been plotting "behind the scenes" in a bid to take down Kanye West's business interests in the US following his shocking hate-filled X rants.

Tech mogul Daniel Starr told The U.S. Sun that secret WhatsApp groups had been set up by high-profile people across entertainment, fashion, tech and politics who were outraged by the rapper's vile anti-Semitic posts in which he proclaimed "I LOVE HITLER."

The groups were working together to ensure the shamed Yeezy founder would no longer be able to conduct business in the States, Starr said.

The multi-millionaire entrepreneur alleges that manufacturing companies will no longer produce clothing products for his brand and that his music will "disappear"; from streaming platforms.

He says that outrage over Ye's three-day X rampage—in which he also claimed he had "dominion" over his wife Bianca Censori, that rape victims were liars, and that accused sex trafficker Sean "Diddy" Combs should be freed—had reached the "very top of government."

Starr also claimed he had spoken to White House insiders who told him President Donald Trump has taken Kanye's comments "very seriously" and was "not playing around" when it came to anti-Semitism.

In an exclusive interview Starr, 45, said: “A number of WhatsApp groups have been set up that I’m part of, with people that are very significant in tech, in Hollywood, in real estate, people who are super influential in government, people who work at the big streaming platforms, people from all of the major U.S. companies and I can assure you the right thing is happening.

"Kanye is done.

"He just will not be able to conduct business in this country in the way he used to. There is a lot happening behind the scenes to ensure this.

“I work with a number of people in the manufacturing and production of clothing for Kanye and they are not going to be doing production for him any longer. I've spoken directly to them.

"And I'm involved in a bunch of different fashion companies and other companies that do manufacturing and production here in the States. And the only way that he will be able to continue doing anything in fashion is if he takes it overseas.

"And there will be tremendous tariffs on that. So he'll have an extremely difficult time conducting any sort of real business. He's going to need to go outside the US to do that. And the pressure from the US government is going to make it nearly impossible for him to do what he does.

“And by creating and selling merchandise with anti-Semitic logos on it and things of that nature, he can be sure that the Trump administration is not going to let that slide 100%.

“Donald Trump signed an executive order against anti-Semitism last week. He’s going out there and saying, if you're in America and you're on a Visa of any kind and you make anti-Semitic statements, if you're involved in anti-Semitic protests, we're going to send you back to wherever you came from.

KANYE WILL 'FEEL REPERCUSSIONS'

"He’s basically putting it out there that businesses that engage with anti-Semites, like Kanye West, are going to feel the repercussions. So he's taking it seriously. As we know, his daughter and son-in-law Jared Kushner are Orthodox Jews," Starr added.

“So it hits home all the way at the top of the US – Donald Trump - down to the people that were manufacturing his merchandise.

“I'm in constant contact with people in Trump's administration and he is not playing around with stuff like this. He's very, very, very serious.

"Trump is not going to let people go out and spew anti-Semitic hate without doing anything about it. We will see very quickly that our government is going to stand up and do the right thing."

Kanye is not a gangster, he’s just some wacko behind his iPhone talking trash.

Kanye was widely condemned for his misogynistic, racist and anti-Semitic tirade, which began on Friday.

The rapper proclaimed: "I AM A NAZI", "I LOVE HITLER" and wrote: "I DONT EVEN KNOW WHAT THE F*** ANTI SEMETIC MEANS."

He later boasted about his wife's naked Grammys look, claimed rape victims were liars and declared he was "God".

Ye also posted a picture of a swastika t shirt and called it his "greatest art".

Fans took to social media threatening to cancel their Yeezy orders and boycott his upcoming album Bully over the crazed rants.

Starr claimed he was also in touch with senior employees of streaming platforms and believed Kanye's ability to use them to promote his music would soon be limited.

“I’m on WhatsApp groups with people who are high up at the major streaming platforms, and Kanye will not be able to use those platforms to distribute his music,” he said.

“I don’t think there’ll be a big announcement, I think it just disappears. I think there's going to be broken links.

'BEYOND CANCELING'

"They don't even want to give Kanye the mention of ‘we're removing you’, which is the only thing he wants, because obviously he's doing all of this for attention and to get people p****d off. But the net result of that is going to be he just disappears.

“This has gone beyond cancelling, you're not even worth our time."

The U.S. Sun reached out to Spotify and Apple Music for comment on the claims but received no response.

Starr, who is Jewish, offered up $2 million after reading the hateful comment to have five minutes in a boxing ring with Kanye, who he branded an "idiot Nazi".

He said he stood by his original comments and had received praise for them.

“While obviously the method of my outrage was not the most graceful way of going about it—saying I'll fight him for money—might be seen as a little bit lowbrow, but it called attention to the issue,” he said.

“I've heard from a lot of people after the first article, and they told me they appreciated what I did. It's bold. Some people have told me I’m crazy, and he’s going to have people come after me, but Kanye is not a gangster; he’s just some wacko behind his iPhone talking trash. I'm not worried about my safety at all."

'DELUSIONAL'

Starr added that Kanye's pleas to free Diddy, who is currently in jail in New York awaiting trial, were "delusional."

“Kanye asking Trump to free Diddy and to have meetings with him just shows how detached from reality he is," he said.

"And if Kanye thinks that President Trump would do anything or associate with anyone who is an anti-Semite, he's more delusional than he already appears. Trump freeing Diddy is not something that's ever going to happen.”

Kanye's X account was given a "sensitive content" warning on Sunday night, with boss Elon Musk posting: "Given what he has posted, his account is now classified as NSFW. You should not be seeing that anymore."

Ye later addressed the disclaimer on X and urged Musk to let him keep his account before "logging out" and appearing to deactivate it.

In a video posted before his account was taken offline he claimed he was of sound mind and had found his Twitter rant "cathartic".

A rep for Kanye declined to comment on Starr's claims.

One of Kanye's previous US suppliers for clothing for his Yeezy line, Los Angeles Apparel did not respond to requests for comment.
