Kanye West recently took a jibe at Josh Kushner over his investment in Kanye’s ex-wife Kim Kardashian’s SKIMS brand.
The rapper went on another Instagram rant and hinted that he was not aware of Kushner’s investment. He wrote:
“F*** Josh Kushner. What if I had 10% of Karlie Kloss underwear line without you knowing? And you only had 5%.”
He also teared into Josh’s brother, Jared Kushner, who was the former senior advisor to Donald Trump, Jared Kushner. The rapper claimed that Josh attempted to sabotage Trump’s political administration. Ye even mentioned Jared’s wife Ivanka Trump in his post:
“Jared was holding Trump back. Ivanka is fire.”

However, the latter told Fox News that he was unaware that Kushner held 10% stakes in the company while he owned 5% stakes.</p><p>During the interview, West also attacked the imagery and vision of SKIMS:</p><blockquote><p>“I had a lot of issues with the imagery of Skims. There was a lot of imagery that was overly s*xualized and things I would not wanna see my wife and my daughters doing to sell their product in the future.”</p></blockquote><p>He also alleged that several SKIMS products were based on ideas curated for Yeezy:</p><blockquote><p>“Skims is based on a lot of the Yeezy ideas. I had to use my relationships in fashion in order to establish Kim so fashionable people would say ‘I’m down to wear Kim’s line.’”</p></blockquote><div class=)
Kanye West’s social media tirade against Josh Kushner and his brother Jared came after the rapper was seen having dinner with the latter in January 2020. However, the reason behind the fallout between Ye and Jared remains unknown. The duo have reportedly been friends for 10 years.
