Peloton makes major Kanye West decision

Rapper Kanye West has recently earned headlines over a series of antisemitic remarks made to various press outlets.

The fallout from such actions has been swift. Adidas, whom Kanye West said could not possibly drop him from their $1 billion deal, did just that earlier this week. Multiple professional athletes have left West’s sports agency, Donda Sports. Even his sponsored high school basketball team got kicked out of a major tournament.

We can now add another name to the long list of companies and individuals dissociating themselves from West and his remarks: Peloton, the exercise bike company, will no longer feature West’s music during future exercise classes.

“We take this issue very seriously and can confirm Peloton indefinitely paused the use of Kanye West’s music on our platform. This means our instructors are no longer using his music in any newly produced classes and we are not suggesting any class that includes his music in our proactive recommendations to Members,” Peloton said in a statement, according to TMZ Sports. “You should know this was a decision we made immediately following his remarks. Again, thank you for sharing your concerns and thank you for being a Member of our Peloton community.”

West has yet to officially respond to the latest company dropping him over the remarks.
