Billionaire rapper West’s clothing brand Yeezy received clearance for a loan of between $2 million and $5 million under the Paycheck Protection Program, the U.S. Small Business Administration said.The PPP was established to aid workers at companies and nonprofits with fewer than 500 employees hurt by closures and other measures meant to slow the spread of the novel coronavirus.
Several Hollywood production companies applied for PPP aid after filming was halted in mid-March, putting tens of thousands of cast and crew members out of work. Approved applicants included The Jim Henson Company, creator of the Muppets, and The Apatow Company, run by writer/director Apatow.The Jim Henson Company received roughly $2 million, which enabled it to keep the entire staff of 75 workers employed, company spokeswoman Nicole Goldman said.
Other loan applicants from the world of entertainment included filmmaker Coppola’s Francis Ford Coppola Presents, a lifestyle brand that markets films, wine and other products,Cinema operators, which were forced to close in March, also applied for relief. Theater chains approved for loans included California-based Laemmle Theatres and Regency Theatres, the government list said.

What a freak. A drain on society.
This is part of the deal he made with Dotard Trump to pull the black vote from Biden thereby splitting the opposition, al la Nader. Payouts for all the puppets! You wanna be paid you gotta play!
Yes, boycott all of these crony related businesses. Our money choices are our power. Do not buy unethical brands.

Please check to see if Kaynes wife’s sister Kylie Jenners company Kylie Comsmetics also received PPP money. Wouldn’t put it past Kris Jenner to make that happen. As small businesses go under the Trumps take care of their own and friends.
He should take that money and make Yeezy-branded masks.
