Colin Jost and Michael Che had been again once more to spoof the information on Saturday Night Live’s “Weekend Update” and Kanye West was on the heart of the jokes. After many firms severed ties with the rapper following his antisemitic remarks, Jost identified that there have been some companies that didn’t must make a public assertion.
“Is it just me or did half of the companies that dropped Kanye sound fake?” Jost questioned. “I saw the headline, ‘TJ Maxx cuts Yeezy-branded merchandise amid Kanye West fallout.’ I was like, did Kanye know he worked for TJ Maxx?”

Jost continued, “Also unless we already associate you with Kanye, you didn’t have to announce that you were cutting ties. We didn’t need Peloton to announce, ‘We’re no longer playing Kanye’s music.’ Thanks, Peloton, now we can rest easy knowing we won’t hear ‘Gold Digger’ while we have a heart attack on your bike.”
As West’s downfall continued all through the week, Jost mentioned he began to get enthusiastic about what different firms would distance themselves from Kim Kardashian’s ex.

“Dippin’ dots would no longer work with… Scrub Daddy is cutting all ties… TCBY will discontinue their ‘watch the cone menu’ featuring the hit flavor, nougats in pretzels,” Jost joked.

One of essentially the most stunning bulletins, and this one was actual, was the one which Goodwill put out stating they’d not settle for Yeezy merchandise donations.
“Which is ironic because Kanye’s lost enough money that he might need them,” Jost quipped.
