Jason Lee is cutting professional ties with Kanye West.
The “Hollywood Unlocked” host left his position as head of media and partnerships for the Yeezy fashion designer two weeks before West wore a White Lives Matter shirt to his fashion show on Monday, Page Six is told. Instead, Lee, 45, will focus on launching his own talk show.

Despite no longer working together, Lee wanted to make it clear where he stood on the artist’s wardrobe choice.
“Very humble and thankful to Ye for the opportunity to work with him but that part of our relationship has come to an end,” he later wrote on his Instagram Story.
“I love Ye as a person, and I support free speech. But this is gaslighting black people and empowering white supremacy. Not sure if he has any friends left to tell him but this is utterly disappointing,” the gossip guru began his caption.
“I’m going to exercise free speech and say, nobody black has ever said that white lives don’t matter. But when black people do this it just screams the need for white validation.”

Lee concluded his post by calling out the “Flashing Lights” rapper, 45, for associating with the controversial political commentator, 33.
“Adding Candace Owens to this photo is beyond reprehensible,” he wrote. “I understand he believes in her right to free speech but her speech is typically embedded in self hate, a determination to promote white supremacy, and she lacks integrity.
West didn’t appear too fazed by Lee’s — or anyone else’s — reaction, as he doubled down Tuesday morning, calling Black Lives Matter a “scam.”
“Everyone knows that Black Lives Matter was a scam now it’s over you’re welcome,” he wrote on his Instagram Story.
