Once more, KANYE West’s desperate search for a venue to perform his concerts has been unsuccessful.
The American Sun comprehends Ye recently launched a charm оffensive in Europe in an attempt to secure arena support for the release of Vultures 1, his most recent studio album.
However, promoters in Madrid, Berlin, Cologne, and Munich rejected the proposal with a resounding negаtive response.
The response he received when he tested the water in Asia, Australia, and the Middle East was identical.
Although the controversial rapper has a sizable fan base and is scheduled to perform at the Rolling Loud festival in California on March 14, a music insider asserts that performing in Europe will be “extremely, extremely difficult.”
“The primary reason for this is his recent controversies and reputation,” the source explained to The U.S. Sun.
“Now almost no companies that manage arenas or stadiums want to allow him to do shows on their venues.”
Fans deemed a recent “listening experience” conducted in Paris earlier this month a “rip-off” because the entire new album was performed without Ye or Ty Dolla Sign, with whom the group has collaborated, taking the microphone.
Furthermore, the event’s organizers in the French capital have faced criticism, according to the source, demonstrating the intense emotions that encircle the possibility of a return.
Since his December online tirade against Jesus Christ and Һitler, the 46-year-old is virtually untouchable. However, an avalanche of unconventional photographs featuring his wife Bianca Censori has generated considerable controversy.
Ye harbored optimism regarding the possibility of establishing a foothold in Milan, his desired destination being the renowned San Siro soccer stadium. This was made all the more so by the inclusion of Inter Milan supporters in the song Carnival.
Last week, he was observed at an Inter match in Milan, and he maintains positive relations with the ownership group.
“However, the majority of the board remаins opposed to the idea of allowing him to use the stadium for his performance,” the insider continued.
“They recognize that Kanye’s appearance at stadiums and his presence can generate a great deal of revenue for the venues, but the arenas and stadium proprietors prioritize rιsk management and maintaining a positive public image. Kanye West’s performances in Europe will be incomparably difficult.”
A similar situation can be observed in Australia and Asia, according to a tour manager with extensive experience in those regions.
He was astounded to discover Ye post a list of 25 potential venues in a suggestive manner on Instagram; the insider regarded Ye’s action as one of the worst decisions of his twenty-five-year music career.
“The goal was to put pressure or lobby to get access and be able to do his shows in the list of venues that he showed on his post,” according to a source.
“But we all know that it’s clearly very complicated for him to be able to do shows or tours with his reputation and the controversies he has been involved in.”
Additionally, venues situated in Tokyo and Dubai were alluded to in his Instagram post; however, the recipients were taken aback by Ye’s arrogance.
“It’s not a good way to attempt to begin negotiations,” the industry veteran continued.
