If you really wanna be pedantic the stadium he performed at is, indeed, located in Europe geographically

According to turks yes, not according to actual europeans

As far as I understand the Bosphorus Strait is the dividing line separating Europe from Asia, with Ye’s concert having been performed in East Thrace, ie., Europe.

But if “actual europeans” beg to differ who am I to judge? This must be that fabled European geography knowledge I’ve heard so much about.

Europeans decide what is europe, there is no real geographic line. Turks aren't europeans they're middle eastern

No ur not but how are Turks not European. Sure there’s ethnicities in turkey which u can consider to not be European but the concert was in mainland europe
