ok i'm remembering he ran for president

By doing what ? I think no matter what due to how close it is there is pushback

Because he is a Jewish man who lived in Israel for months and believes in a 2 state solution?

Am I bugging or is Kanye getting way more backlash after doing those concerts than he did announcing them?

Where was the outrage when he first announced them months ago?

I guess I'm just confused af as to why there's almost a delayed reaction here.

People who would complain didn’t know till videos hit the timeline

People seeing sold out dates hit hard because they wanted it to flop or not be as financially successful. Did he perform to a great caliber ? No . If he had the performance of his life people would be even more mad

Welcome to KTT2!

Easy chance for politiicians to pick up some anti antisemitism points against someone your average old yt voter already hate anyway

Happy to be here 🍻

The UK government ain't gonna let him in. Labour For Israel (UK version of AIPAC) are influencing MP's and the prime minister. They don't even hide they are Zionists

Actually, now that I think about it, it makes sense.

I think people feel disillusioned about Kanye still being popular despite the 2025 antics.

Like you said, people expected him to be Ja Rule in 2003 status after that but he somehow made a comeback.

Either way, if the concern is really about normalizing bigotry, then Elon Musk honestly deserves to be banned more than most. I've seen that evil Boer straight up NOT censor posts about genociding Black people and openly saying Black people aren't human on X.

Sadly, nobody gaf about rich White guys doing that sort of thing. Elon even got forgiven for his antisemitism somehow.....

Israel will never forgive even though again he performed and visited Israel with Kim

Elon won’t get held accountable ever . We know black people are the ones to truly get held fully accountable. Elon could have suspended ye account or not let ye login earlier when he knew it was a clear episode and would continue going south but he knew it was good traffic for x

If the UK stops him from performing all Ye would have to do is put out a statement like, “I respect and understand the UKs decision I’m sorry to the fans and I hope to be back some day” they totally lose the PR battle and end up looking like d***s.

Only smarmy Redditors would celebrate him being banned

I know it's common knowledge but it still pisses me off because what's even the f***ing point lol.

Ye being held accountable is fine. One could argue he could've done more than 2 public apologies right before his rollout.

But if Elon still gets to go around making speeches normalizing bigotry and hatred with zero pushback, what's even the point?

I know these companies don't gaf to begin with since they're pro Zionist anyways but it's still funny to me.

Either way, I'm still going to sit back and keep the popcorn out. I'm indifferent either way because I think Ye could and should rehabilitate his image more just for his own sake but I totally get the backlash too.

True that’s my bad. Still dumb as hell to call yourself antifascist and immediately defend the existence of a pro Jewish state

You won’t see a Zionist say they are pro fascist . They all say Israel is a shining beacon of democracy even though Netanyahu was being protested heavily til war with Iran

He could make a million public apologies some will never want him to be successful again it’s just the way it is

Nah many people including black people who feel they deserved their own apology letter are still mad lol

I was talking more so about activism or holding more public conferences addressing the elephants in the room.

Or, hell, even going on a podcast to address a number of the controversies in a vulnerable way.

The apologies were cool but felt a bit rushed in hindsight. Hell, many people forgot about them lol.

It’s honestly that he’s gotten tons of press and attention for the tracklist and performance visuals.

Cause of how much they sell out. Can't believe people are still lining up to give this man money.

I don’t think people would feel things are genuine . Also more he gets pressed about it more people would take it as rationalization.

When he already said throughout that he wanted the Jewish people to feel the same pain that they market in black music

There is no major artist doing it like ye . Artist are lazy with production and don’t experiment on their albums

He's one of the biggest selling rappers ever. Nobody should be shocked about that.

I think people have to realize too that stadium shows don't always reflect the general public.

Chris Brown gets called a washed up abuser who dances like a crackhead online 24/7 and he sold out stadiums too.

The general public still doesn't really rock with Ye or Chris like that though.
