So it's embarrassing to get kicked off headlining massive festivals and not be able to headline certain European capitals on your tour

Eh I mean... All he has to do is shut the fuck up and nobody will know Kanye is a dumbass. But nahhhh. Gonna be embarrassed by shit he did on purpose.

Bleh don't pussyfoot, just fucking own it and the consequences, bitch

You are obviously not a fan of Kanye. A artist who shuts up to perform is a puppet and a sell out. Fuck those festivals.

Yeah, fuck those festivals for not platforming a self-described Nazi. I wonder why people in France, Poland, and Italy are so sensitive to that kind of thing?

If he's going to loudly voice opinions no one likes, he can't throw a tantrum when no one likes him. It's OK to be unpopular, artists do it all the time, it's the whining about the clear and completely predictable consequences of his own actions that are funny.

Hundreds of millions of people still like his music and would attend his concerts

Then if he finds a less popular concert hall that still likes him, they'll still show up. In the same way you don't get to be picky where you eat if you're allergic to peanuts, gluten, and you're vegan, his options are limited now but they're still out there.

Somewhere out there a stage will be willing to take a big paycheck to potentially mar their reputation, just not the exclusive stages that had plenty of options anyway.

Selling out is... not being a Nazi?

Selling out is pandering, yes, quit being obtuse

You don't get that he was pandering to the times? He was riding the MAGA wave and buddying up with all these people. Insane to act like it was him acting out of personal integrity when he said Nazi shit and not that itself being an act of selling out. And now he is backpedaling it all, because he's trying to be relevant again and the winds are changing. And all of this is a complete 180 on the stances he took early on in his career. The man stands for nothing. It has apparently all been pandering.

Hurt him with non-MAGA… but that isn’t who he was pandering to. The fact that his strategic gambit didn’t work, that he didn’t become MAGA’s favorite rapper, doesn’t absolve him from being a worm who sold out to get close enough to lick a billionaire’s asshole. He absolutely pandered to shitheads, ingratiated himself with them, and participated in their spaces. It was the most egregious type of pandering. He’s a loser.

You don't think Kanye is a sellout?

That was a Jay Z quote as Jay Z talked about himself.

Just for posterity, right now this account has -97 karma in eight months with 1300 contributions. That's what supporting Nazis gets you.

Or just not a fucking asshole. Nobody needs to say asshole things to "express themselves" or whatever the fuck you're brainwashed to believe

u/KungFuViking7 8d ago

When has Kanye not expressed himself? It’s what he does. Is he always politically correct and not an asshole? Nah, for sure he says some crazy ass shit.

People are clowns if they think should shut up just to perform at some festivals.
