Bournemouth players will no longer walk out to Kanye West after the rapper's anti-Semitic comments.

The song 'Power' had been used as the walk-on music by the Premier League side.

But following the American's anti-Semitic outburst on Twitter, the Cherries have scrapped the music.

That's according to the Bournemouth Echo, who claim the song has been ditched after concerns had been raised over the use of his music.

Bournemouth have used the song for a number of years, but a new track will be used for Saturday's home clash against Tottenham.

Several international companies have terminated their relationships with the 45-year-old, who has legally changed his name to Ye.

One of them being sports brand giants Adidas, who recently cut ties with West - saying it 'does not tolerate antisemitism'.

The statement issued reads: "Adidas does not tolerate antisemitism and any other sort of hate speech. Ye's recent comments and actions have been unacceptable, hateful and dangerous, and they violate the company's values of diversity and inclusion, mutual respect and fairness.

"After a thorough review, the company has taken the decision to terminate the partnership with Ye immediately, end production of Yeezy branded products and stop all payments to Ye and his companies. adidas will stop the adidas Yeezy business with immediate effect."

Other major brands and organisations have severed their partnerships with the Grammy award-winning artist.

Madame Tussauds in London has removed his waxwork and his talent agents CAA have separated with him.

Bournemouth, meanwhile, currently occupy 14th place in the Premier League table and will be looking to return to the win column following their defeat to West Ham United.

Gary O'Neil's side lost 2-0 to the Hammers on Monday as they face Antonio Conte's Spurs at the Vitality Stadium.

What song should Bournemouth walk out to against Spurs? Let us know what you think.
