Nobody wants Kanye West anymore | Matt Connnarton Unleashed

0:00 Kanye's anti semitism definitely isn't flying in Europe. Prague the latest to shut down a YE show. Yeah, this is this is still following him his uh anti semitic comments, and I, you know, I wondered it was interesting to see how many people kind of you know, held it against him and how many people have kind of forgotten about it. I kind of get the impression that for some people, a certain amount of time has passed where they're able to look past some of the things that he's said. I think he came out one point saying, you know, look, I was on some medication that made me say these hateful things or whatever.

0:39 I don't know. Kanye doesn't really apologize for much. But if you recall, he said some pretty awful and very anti Semitic things that anyone else that would have ruined their career. But Kanye West somehow has survived. But he's having some trouble here again. It's this is from Digital Musicnews dot com. The rapper formerly known as kan West will not be performing in Prague after the venue set to host him backed out. It's the latest canceled show for the outwardly anti Semitic artist Kanye West, who now goes by Ye, was set to perform in Prague as part of his proposed comeback tour, but the show has been canceled after the venue set to host him backed out.

1:20 That makes the latest country to say no to the noted anti Semitic rapper. By the way, before anyone says, well, what about his First Amendment rights, well it's Prague. It's not the United States. They don't care about our constitution, so don't even buy I just only I mean that should be obvious to most people, but I just know there's going to be somebody out there listening going, ooh, what for Amendment? Yeah, it's a different country. Relax. Organized by Slovak producer Hugo Varga, the show was scheduled to take place on July twenty five at a horse track.

1:54 It was canceled by venue owner Zuzana Rambova, who didn't cite a specific reason for the move, but confirmed that the arena quote terminated the organizer's contract. Notably, Varga was one of the organizers of a Slovak rap festival scheduled for last summer, where Ye was also scheduled to perform, but local protests against the event, combined with logistics concerns, led to the rapper withdrawing from the lineup, and the festival was ultimately canceled. Varga defended Ye at the time, blaming the failure of the festival on financial regulations in asserting that the rapper shouldn't be barred from performing.

2:37 Similarly, Rambova said that Ye should be free to perform despite his past anti Semitic remarks. The show in Prague is the latest in a series of canceled performances since Ye began publicly making anti Semitic statements. In April, the rapper was denied a visa to the UK for the Wireless Festival, where Ye was announced as a headliner. Ultimately, the entire event was scrapped. Just a week later, the rapper postponed a planned show in how Do You Say That, Marseilles after rumors that French authorities were looking to cancel it.

3:10 Since then, shows in Poland, Italy and other countries have also been canceled, citing concerns over y ease anti semitism. The rapper successfully performed two shows in the Netherlands on June sixth and June eighth after the Dutch Deputy Prime Minister confirmed they investigated his past statements and found no and found insignificant legal grounds for borrowing him from the country. In late twenty twenty two, if you don't remember, he began making anti Semitic remarks on social media, which led to a deluge of cancelations from sponsors and business partners.

3:42 By the way, he also went on the Alex Jones Show and declared his love for the Fear. If you don't remember, earlier this year, the rapper issued a full page public apology in The Wall Street Journal blaming his anti Semitic remarks on untreated bipolar disorder in a car accident he was in years ago. I'm skeptical in those moments, I forgot about the full page public apology. That may not have been enough, but that's hard to come back from.
