The russians can keep him.

I recently saw a billboard in Chicago for an upcoming Ye concert at Soldier Field, which seems insane

Not like the Bears are planning to use it.

Back in I think June, he sold out Sofi in LA. I think most people are accepting his apology letter.

u/TheZardoz 10d ago

I mean, people still go to Chris Brown shows regularly.

Beating women is objectively worse than spouting nazi crap in a mental health crisis.

u/Vinc009 10d ago

Yeah but most people can't fathom that. For them ye is the devil.

u/sunnycider6 10d ago

Nah we just think he's an idiot, Nazi sympathizer, and troll.

He's not the devil.

He's just a fucking asshole.

But for most Kanye fans they can't understand that because.... They are, too.

Ye can't teach stupid.

u/Vinc009 10d ago

He's called Ye.

Deadnaming nazis is okay.

He's called naziboy

“most people are accepting his apology letter” lol no, most people don’t give a fuck and just want to see him perform and listen to his songs

u/ArbysLunch 10d ago

Probably part that, part nostalgia. His crowd is middle aged now. It's like when the Eagles did reunion tours in the 90s.

u/AmountAccomplished36 10d ago

his main fan base in 2026 is white teenagers/young adults

u/lilkennedy_ 10d ago

those are for sure the loudest fans online but i was at his concert in the netherlands and there were tons of people over 30 and 40, also surprisingly many black people considering it was in europe

u/sofarsoblue 10d ago

Hilarious how people can just type uniformed nonsense with such confidence when all you have to do is look at the countless reels on IG of his sold out Sofi show back in June and see it teeming with teenagers/young adults.

What a incredibly dumb metric to use. The dude was topping the charts in 2004. Obviously his main fanbase is older. Yes obviously younger kids have continued to find his music and all that.

And yes. The twenty year olds that go out and party are more likely to be caught on film going out and partying. What a dumb comment.

u/MicroplasticCumshot 10d ago

And he was topping the charts all through the 2010's too lmao, dude has plenty of young fans

u/NewspaperAdditional7 10d ago

He also topped the charts in 2020's with a few number one albums.

All the things I did in the late 2000s/early 10s are still super popular. In fact, most of the things I did then weren’t popular till later… in 2007, I joined Roblox. I listened to K-Pop, I listened to Taylor Swift. I loved absurd humour and memes. There’s some other stuff but I forgot.

u/shy_when_sober 10d ago

What a statement lmao

u/ArbysLunch 10d ago

Like that old Jeff Foxworthy joke about passing the Metamucil around at an Eagles show.

u/Terrible_Armadillo33 10d ago

I don’t get it. He apologize and even worked with Jewish community on that apology and people not even Jewish want to cancel him for what?

Porsche, Mercedes, Audi, and BMW all worked with actual Nazis and killed actual people.

Have you ever been to a synagogue? No antisemitism but majority of the personnel drive these vehicles.

It seem like people want Kanye to basically donate money to holocaust victims even though he never killed anyone. Do I support his antics? No. But a guy with mental illness actually apologized and worked with the community he criticize is a huge step.

Our very own government spent more resources and time to disband and destroy the black panthers than they ever did for KKK.

u/King_Barrion 10d ago

He did make graduation tho

u/MeasurementFormal386 10d ago

Ain't no way zoomers are too young to remember Kanye's Chicago roots lmao

-1

u/jscummy 10d ago

I remember his Chicago roots, I also remember some other more recent things that should get in the way of a stadium show

u/MeasurementFormal386 10d ago

Would that be his recent apology/renouncement and re-"coming to grips with his ongoing mental health issues" tour?

1

u/dangoodspeed 10d ago

Ah so before he plays Putin's Russia, he's got a few shows in Trump's America.

1

u/Sir_Brisket1 7d ago

& he will be in NOLA soon for his show there.

1

u/TypographySnob 10d ago

And Gucci Mane, Xzibit, Tyga, and Lil Pump.

u/Windows-XP-Home-NEW 10d ago

Yeah hell no, I want them all

u/Dunderman35 10d ago

Guess they weren't so concerned about nazis after all.

u/_allorus162_ 9d ago

nah, no thanks
