Nobody wants Kanye West anymore | Matt Connnarton Unleashed

0:00 Speaker 1: Kanye's anti semitism definitely isn't flying in Europe. Prague the

0:04 Speaker 1: latest to shut down a YE show. Yeah, this is

0:07 Speaker 1: this is still following him his uh anti semitic comments,

0:13 Speaker 1: and I, you know, I wondered it was interesting to

0:16 Speaker 1: see how many people kind of you know, held it

0:20 Speaker 1: against him and how many people have kind of forgotten

0:23 Speaker 1: about it. I kind of get the impression that for

0:27 Speaker 1: some people, a certain amount of time has passed where

0:29 Speaker 1: they're able to look past some of the things that

0:32 Speaker 1: he's said. I think he came out one point saying,

0:35 Speaker 1: you know, look, I was on some medication that made

0:37 Speaker 1: me say these hateful things or whatever. I don't know.

0:39 Speaker 1: Kanye doesn't really apologize for much. But if you recall,

0:42 Speaker 1: he said some pretty awful and very anti Semitic things

0:46 Speaker 1: that anyone else that would have ruined their career. But

0:49 Speaker 1: Kanye West somehow has survived. But he's having some trouble

0:53 Speaker 1: here again. It's this is from Digital Musicnews dot com.

0:58 Speaker 1: The rapper formerly known as kan West will not be

1:01 Speaker 1: performing in Prague after the venue set to host him

1:04 Speaker 1: backed out. It's the latest canceled show for the outwardly

1:08 Speaker 1: anti Semitic artist Kanye West, who now goes by Ye,

1:12 Speaker 1: was set to perform in Prague as part of his

1:14 Speaker 1: proposed comeback tour, but the show has been canceled after

1:18 Speaker 1: the venue set to host him backed out. That makes

1:21 Speaker 1: the latest country to say no to the noted anti

1:24 Speaker 1: Semitic rapper. By the way, before anyone says, well, what

1:28 Speaker 1: about his First Amendment rights, well it's Prague. It's not

1:31 Speaker 1: the United States. They don't care about our constitution, so

1:34 Speaker 1: don't even buy I just only I mean that should

1:36 Speaker 1: be obvious to most people, but I just know there's

1:38 Speaker 1: going to be somebody out there listening going, ooh, what

1:41 Speaker 1: for Amendment? Yeah, it's a different country. Relax. Organized by

1:46 Speaker 1: Slovak producer Hugo Varga, the show was scheduled to take

1:51 Speaker 1: place on July twenty five at a horse track. It

1:55 Speaker 1: was canceled by venue owner Zuzana Rambova, who didn't cite

2:00 Speaker 1: a specific reason for the move, but confirmed that the

2:03 Speaker 1: arena quote terminated the organizer's contract. Notably, Varga was one

2:08 Speaker 1: of the organizers of a Slovak rap festival scheduled for

2:13 Speaker 1: last summer, where Ye was also scheduled to perform, but

2:16 Speaker 1: local protests against the event, combined with logistics concerns, led

2:21 Speaker 1: to the rapper withdrawing from the lineup, and the festival

2:24 Speaker 1: was ultimately canceled. Varga defended Ye at the time, blaming

2:31 Speaker 1: the failure of the festival on financial regulations in asserting

2:34 Speaker 1: that the rapper shouldn't be barred from performing. Similarly, Rambova

2:38 Speaker 1: said that Ye should be free to perform despite his

2:41 Speaker 1: past anti Semitic remarks. The show in Prague is the

2:43 Speaker 1: latest in a series of canceled performances since Ye began

2:46 Speaker 1: publicly making anti Semitic statements. In April, the rapper was

2:51 Speaker 1: denied a visa to the UK for the Wireless Festival,

2:56 Speaker 1: where Ye was announced as a headliner. Ultimately, the entire

2:59 Speaker 1: event was scrapped. Just a week later, the rapper postponed

3:03 Speaker 1: a planned show in how Do You Say That, Marseilles

3:06 Speaker 1: after rumors that French authorities were looking to cancel it.

3:10 Speaker 1: Since then, shows in Poland, Italy and other countries have

3:13 Speaker 1: also been canceled, citing concerns over y ease anti semitism.

3:16 Speaker 1: The rapper successfully performed two shows in the Netherlands on

3:19 Speaker 1: June sixth and June eighth after the Dutch Deputy Prime

3:22 Speaker 1: Minister confirmed they investigated his past statements and found no

3:27 Speaker 1: and found insignificant legal grounds for borrowing him from the country.

3:30 Speaker 1: In late twenty twenty two, if you don't remember, he

3:33 Speaker 1: began making anti Semitic remarks on social media, which led

3:37 Speaker 1: to a deluge of cancelations from sponsors and business partners.

3:42 Speaker 1: By the way, he also went on the Alex Jones

3:46 Speaker 1: Show and declared his love for the Fear. If you

3:50 Speaker 1: don't remember, earlier this year, the rapper issued a full

3:53 Speaker 1: page public apology in The Wall Street Journal blaming his

3:56 Speaker 1: anti Semitic remarks on untreated bipolar disorder in a car

4:01 Speaker 1: accident he was in years ago. I'm skeptical in those moments,

4:08 Speaker 1: I forgot about the full page public apology. That may

4:12 Speaker 1: not have been enough, but that's hard to come back from.
