Kanye West Learns the Definition of Consequences, Claims He Can’t Book Venues After Numerous Controversies

Kanye West posted an Instagram video seeking help with booking arenas following excessive controversy, including his anti-semitic rants.

Following a string of excessive controversies, spanning from anti-semitic rants to showing pornography to Yeezy staff in meetings, West says he has had a hard time booking arenas to perform in “It won’t be a Live Nation or an AEG, no,” one industry executive, referencing the two biggest concert promoters, told Rolling Stone about West’s potential return to stage back in 2022. A booker for a regional concert promoter that oversees several venues added: “Whether or not it’s intended, by booking Kanye at this point in time, you’re endorsing his words … He needs to walk away from what he said before most venues would work with him.” The rapper did attempt to walk back his comments by issuing an apology to the Jewish community entirely in Hebrew and sharing the song “ Vultures,” on which he raps: “How I’m antisemitic, I just fucked a Jewish bitch.”
