In this Algemeiner article, Reuters and Algemeiner Staff report that Kanye West drew a massive crowd in Turkey even as his antisemitic controversies continue to shut doors for him elsewhere.
- Kanye West, also known as Ye, reportedly performed before 118,000 people at Istanbul’s Ataturk Olympic Stadium on Saturday night.
- The concert marked Ye’s first appearance in Europe since 2014 and his first-ever performance in Turkey.
- The article notes that Ye has been barred or blocked from performing in several countries because of past antisemitic remarks.
- His controversies include statements praising Adolf Hitler and the release of content using Nazi imagery.
- Fans reportedly traveled from Britain, Germany, France, the Netherlands, Italy, Russia, Poland, the Middle East, and elsewhere to attend the Istanbul show.
- Ye is scheduled to perform in the Netherlands on June 6 and June 8.
- Britain denied Ye entry in April, saying his presence would not be conducive to the public good, which forced the cancellation of a planned Wireless Festival appearance.
- A Marseille show was postponed after reports that the French government sought to block it, and a Poland concert was later canceled.
- The article also says Ye took out a full-page Wall Street Journal ad in January renouncing his past admiration for Hitler and apologizing for his behavior.
