His Internet hate tirades have further repercussions: US rapper Kanye West is not allowed to appear at this year’s Grammy Awards.
US rapper Kanye West (44) is not allowed to appear at this year’s Grammy Awards on April 4 as planned. This was confirmed by one of his spokespersons to “People” magazine. According to the report, the reason for the sacking was his “questionable online behavior”. Just a few days ago, his Instagram account was blocked for 24 hours after West allegedly spread racist slurs against Grammy presenter Trevor Noah (38).
The “Daily Show” host previously commented humorously on the separation of West and Kim Kardashian (41) in a post. Between the lines, Noah hinted that West should get professional help, apparently incurring the rapper’s resentment. Even before this incident, West repeatedly vented his anger via social media that his wife was in a new relationship with comedian Pete Davidson (28).

The hate speech culminated in a music video for his song “Eazy,” in which a plasticine version of Davidson was buried alive by West. Davidson later released chat histories with West, in which the comedian urges West to leave him alone. “I’ll stop being nice to you if you don’t leave me alone,” Davidson wrote to West.
