Kanye West Banned From Grammy Awards For ‘Concerning Online Behavior’

Nothing is going well for Ye.

His escapades and his excesses on social networks or in his clips had a first consequence. Kanye West’s Instagram account was suspended for a day last week. But the consequences of his vendetta against his ex-wife Kim Kardashian and her new boyfriend Pete Davidson have far greater repercussions, especially for his music. Indeed, the Grammy Awards ceremony where he should have performed on April 3 has purely and simply scratched him from the program. It must be said that the rapper made racist remarks against the presenter of the evening, Trevor Noah, precisely on Instagram, one more overflow which had contributed to the suspension of his account. While he was supposed to perform at the party at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas during the 64th Annual Grammy Awards, his performance was canceled due to his “his disturbing online activity“. Ye still keeps his nominations, he still has five including that of the best rap album for “Donda”, but, in the current state of things, it is hard to see how he could win a statuette…

The American site The Blast quoted representatives of Kanye’s team as explaining that the rapper received a phone call on Friday evening to inform him that he had been “Unfortunately” removed from the list of artists invited to perform during the ceremony because of his latest escapades. The truth is probably that the Grammys did not want to give Ye the opportunity to use their stage as a platform, either to try again to conquer Kim Kardashian or to continue to insult and threaten Pete Davidson. He could just as well talk about the custody of his children, Donald Trump or even skid on slavery, cross out the unnecessary mention … So no one wanted to take any risks. And even if he keeps his nominations as we said above, it’s hard to see how he could go on stage for thanks which could turn into something completely different…

This decision was in any case not at all to the taste of The Game who defended his friend and attacked the Grammys in a long statement on Instagram.

“Time and time again they show us that they only want to STEAL the culture, not allow you to be their equal. The Grammys decided at the last minute to prevent Kanye West from performing at the ceremony as if we had no idea it was going to happen. Maybe because Trevor Noah is present and there was a conversation between his team and the Academy that led to this decision, or because Ye’s account was suspended a few days ago for unknown reasons. .”

Still, the actions of Kanye West have not finished talking. But maybe he should calm down a bit as they become unfavorable to him…
