Ye (Kanye West) is no longer welcome on the Grammys stage, his team confirmed Variety† The decision comes after a turbulent period in which the singer repeatedly lashed out at his ex-wife Kim Kardashian and her boyfriend Pete Davidson on Instagram, and after a temporary ban from the social media platform due to racist and hateful language.
According to entertainment site, Ye’s team would The Blast received a call on Friday evening that the singer had been “unfortunately” removed from the lineup, due to his “disturbing online behaviour”. His team was not surprised by the organizers’ decision, according to the entertainment site. They see the decision again as proof that the Grammys are an outdated and unimportant part of the music world.
There areThere may be several reasons why the organizers don’t want West on stage. For example, he often looks up the conflict with Kardashian and Davidson in his Instagram posts, and he could also start on stage about the divorce. He could also show support for accused sex offender Marilyn Mason or the homophobic DaBaby, whom he recently invited to perform with him.
Perhaps the main reason for the cancellation is to avoid interaction between West and host Trevor Noah, who will be hosting the evening. The two are at odds after the presenter in The daily show had made comments about the split between West and Kardashian. West responded with a racist swear word on Instagram, which eventually resulted in a 24-hour ban for the singer.
Kanye has long been known for his high-profile public appearances. For example, in 2009 he climbed on stage to interrupt Taylor Swift’s speech during the VMAs, because he did not think she was the right winner.
The Grammys will be broadcast on April 3 at 5 pm Pacific Time, so Monday April 4 at 1 am in Belgium. BTS, Olivia Rodrigo, Billie Eilish, Lil Nas X and Jack Harlow, among others, are still expected on stage.
