Pressure was mounting Sunday on the American rapper Kanye West to be pulled from his headline role at a London music festival this summer. The rapper has drawn widespread controversy in recent years for a series of antisemitic remarks and his voiced admiration for Adolf Hitler.
Does this nincompoop realize Adolf Hitler considered people with his skin complexion animals?
IIRC mental issues and lots of drugs. It’s more sad than anything else.
It's hard to tell if the mental health issues are why ye was supporting Nazism or not, to be fair.
But they certainly must have played a role in the embarrassing way that he was so vocal about those hateful views, if nothing else.

Who the fuck would book this guy for anything at this point? Does anyone have a moral compass at this point?

IMHO it seems like managers in the industry think that either his apology is genuine, or Kanye probably won't be at least public about supporting antisemitism and/or Hitler anytime soon.
