Kanye West’s comeback concert at SoFi Stadium brought out some of the top tastemakers in the music industry. Aubrey O’Day was one of the attendees.
Aubrey O’Day Hits Back at Backlash Over Attending Kanye Concert
However, O’Day became the subject of heavy backlash once she revealed that she attended the performance. Particularly because of her past comments about Diddy and the abuse that he committed throughout the years.
But in response to the backlash, O’Day says that she can separate the art from the artist.
“I can hold two truths at once,” she explained as heard through AllHipHop. “I’ve been vocal about abuse because I’ve lived it, and I don’t excuse it, ever. That hasn’t changed. But I also don’t believe engaging with someone’s art means I co-sign every opinion or action they’ve ever had. If that were the rule, most of this industry and, honestly, most of the world would be off limits.”
In June 2024, West’s former assistant, Lauren Pisciotta, filed a complaint that alleged that she had been sexually harassed on several occasions during her time with the company from 2021 to 2023. In July 2025, Pisciotta amended her initial complaint. And alleged that the rap star was also guilty of assault, battery, sex trafficking, stalking, and false imprisonment, as per documents obtained by TMZ.
O’Day says that even though she attended the show at SoFi Stadium, she doesn’t support Kanye’s alleged actions.
“What I don’t support is harm, exploitation, or violence. And I’ve been consistent about that,” she added. “You can disagree with where I draw my line, but calling it hypocrisy ignores the nuance. It’s not black and white, and pretending it is doesn’t actually protect anyone. If supporting art required endorsing every belief of the artist, none of us would have careers or playlists. I’ve been clear about where I stand on abuse. That doesn’t change because I attended a show. Nuance isn’t hypocrisy, it’s reality.”
