Despite recently keeping a couple concert dates, it seems like Kanye West is not done with controversy. This time, his next United States show could be in jeopardy.
Who Is Trying To Stop Kanye West?
Kanye West’s Tampa Bay, Florida show appears to have hit a snag, as a prominent lawmaker wants to put a stop to it. Republican Florida Senator Rick Scott took to X to share his disgust with the concert.
“Kanye West’s repeated antisemitic remarks are vile and unacceptable,” posted the Senator. “Antisemitism is plaguing this country and he has been a big part of the problem for years. He doesn’t deserve a stage to spread his hate anywhere, especially Florida.”
This follows a trend of numerous lawmakers from various countries attempting to stop West’s shows, using public safety concerns stemming from his prior Antisemitic remarks as justification.
It’s unclear how this will affect West’s ability to perform in Tampa, but for now, his show is still scheduled to happen.
