San Antonio Mayor Gina Ortiz Jones is looking for the cancellation of Ye’s upcoming July 4 live performance on the Alamodome, citing the rapper’s historical past of antisemitic remarks and controversial public statements.
“I help canceling the @kanyewest live performance. Navy Metropolis USA shouldn’t host somebody with a file of hate speech and antisemitic feedback in a city-funded facility like our Alamodome—not ever, and positively not on July 4th, our Nation’s 250th birthday. Standing as much as antisemitism is strictly what it takes to realize a extra good Union.”
The mayor’s feedback arrive weeks after West’s deliberate live performance in Prague was reportedly canceled. The Chicago rapper has continued to face resistance from venues, promoters and native officers each in america and overseas following a collection of antisemitic feedback made in recent times.
Most lately, Wi-fi Pageant 2026 in London was canceled after sponsors reportedly withdrew help whereas West was slated to headline each nights of the occasion.
Regardless of the pushback, tickets for West’s San Antonio efficiency stay accessible. Whereas the rapper issued a public apology for his previous antisemitic remarks and even bought a full-page advert in The Wall Avenue Journal earlier this yr expressing regret, many critics and organizations have continued to name for accountability past his phrases.
Whether or not metropolis officers can efficiently halt the efficiency stays to be seen, however the backlash suggests Mr. West’s return to stage in sure locations might not occur.
