If Kanye made a song called Kill Niggaz, for example, nobody would cancel him, no companies would be doin fake outrage right now, nobody would bat an eyelid. The hypocrisy is astounding and that's why he did it.
Wireless Festival is standing by Ye as the festival’s headliner 🚨
Melvin Benn, Managing Director of Festival Republic, which organizes Wireless Festival, has made a statement:
"I am a deeply committed anti-fascist and have been all my adult life. I lived on a kibbutz for many months in the 1970’s that was attacked on October 7th, am pro Jew and the Jewish state, while being equally committed to a Palestinian state.
"Having had a person in my life for the last 15 years who suffers from mental illness, I have witnessed many episodes of despicable behaviour that I have had to forgive and move on from. If I wasn’t before, I have become a person of forgiveness and hope in all aspects of my life, including work.
"What Ye has said in the past about Jews and Hitler is as abhorrent to me as it is to the Jewish community, the Prime Minister and others that have commented and - taking him at his word - to Ye now also.
"Ye’s music is played on commercial radio stations in this country. It is available via live streams and downloads in this country without comment or vitriol from anyone and he has a legal right to come into the country and to perform in this country. He is intended to come in and perform. We are not giving him a platform to extol opinion of whatever nature, only to perform the songs that are currently played on the radio stations in our country and the streaming platforms in our country and listened to and enjoyed by millions.
"Forgiveness and giving people a second chance are becoming a lost virtue in this ever-increasing divisive world and I would ask people to reflect on their instant comments of disgust at the likelihood of him performing (as was mine) and offer some forgiveness and hope to him as I have decided to do"
Ye apologized & got back on meds. That's not enough for some people & that's fine. Everyone is entitled to an opinion. But judging others for going to his shows is just dumb & insecure. You really need everyone else to validate your opinion?
S/O to all the coons that made dudes like Adin Ross think it’s cool to say nigga and disrespect black women. You don’t stop this shit by telling him to stop, you do it by not working with him. Don’t box for him, don’t stream with him. But y’all are sellouts so it is what it is.
Ye and Kim Kardashian put their issues aside and spent time together as a family over the Christmas holidays, according to TMZ.
Ye is said to have been reflecting on past actions and working on himself after a controversial first half of 2025.
The Golden State Warriors anticipate Stephen Curry will miss around a week or a little more with a quad contusion suffered Wednesday night, sources tell me and @anthonyVslater. He's believed to have avoided any serious issue. Return will depend on how quad responds to treatment.
