A completed documentary about Kanye West has been axed in the wake of his anti-Semitic comments, with his ex-wife Kim Kardashian also condemning hate speech towards the Jewish community.
The rapper, 45, was temporarily suspended from Twitter and Instagram earlier this month after publishing a string of derogatory comments about the Jewish community.
His tweets included remarks such as “going death con 3 On JEWISH PEOPLE”.

As well as being dropped by Adidas, banking firm JP Morgan and fashion house Balenciaga recently cut ties with Kanye.
On Monday, studio executives from the MRC production company also confirmed they had binned a completed documentary on the artist following his anti-Semitic comments.
In a statement, Modi Wiczyk, Asif Satchu and Scott Tenley said: “This morning, after discussion with our filmmakers and distribution partners, we made the decision not to proceed with any distribution for our recently completed documentary about Kanye West.
“We cannot support any content that amplifies his platform.”
After being condemned by artists including Boy George, Kanye’s ex-wife Kim Kardashian also publicly broke her silence with a social media statement on Monday.

The reality star, 42, wrote in a tweet: “Hate speech is never OK or excusable.
“I stand together with the Jewish community and call on the terrible violence and hateful rhetoric towards them to come to an immediate end.”
Kim and Kanye married in 2014 and divorced earlier this year.
They share four children – North, nine, Saint, six, Chicago, four, and Psalm, three.

Kim’s comments follow Kanye offering an apology for his “death con” remarks earlier this month.
Appearing on Piers Morgan: Uncensored, he said: “You know, I will say, I’m sorry for the people that I hurt with the ‘death con’.
“I feel like I caused hurt and confusion, and I’m sorry for the families of the people that had nothing to do with the trauma that I had been through, and that I used my platform where you say ‘hurt people hurt people’ – and I was hurt.”
