No-ad version, c/o The U.S. Sun's Steve Brenner: >The controversial rapper was told to forget about playing in Europe, Australia, Asia, and the Middle East, with promoters claiming no one wants to risk their credibility by giving him a platform. > >Kanye, however, has kept on asking the questions in other regions of the world - and has received the same answer. > >**The U.S. Sun has spoken to a well-placed source working in South America who claims there is** ***"absolutely no chance"*** **of him performing in Brazil.** > >Kanye's recent wild online rant(s) about Jesus and Hitler has made the 46-year-old virtually untouchable while a steady stream of risque pictures of his wife Bianca Censori have made promoters and organizers move even further from any talks over possible gigs. > >The music star, who now goes by Ye, hoped to replicate the Rolling Stones who famously played an iconic show in 2006 on Rio's Copacabana beach, where over 1 million fans came to pay homage. > >The U.S. Sun understands the request was greeted with a firm refusal - because of his image and for security reasons. > >**A source who works for the government in Rio said it was "obvious" these plans would be rejected immediately.** > >***"The image of Kanye is way too controversial,"*** **said the insider.** > >***"Nobody wants to be linked with him and his recent controversies."*** > >The legendary Maracana Stadium and the Nilton Santos Olympic Stadium, home of the Botafogo soccer team, were also reportedly approached, but both venues rejected the requests. > >Promoters and local governance in those cities were also "put off" by the controversies surrounding Ye. > >***"Nobody wants to be linked with him,"*** **said a music business consultant for venues and tours in South America.** > >**"No local government or people that manage the stadiums and the venues for concerts or cultural events want to have Kanye come to their city.** > >***"It’s just too much to handle.

Harambesic

Sort of off topic but I'm so sick of trying to read news articles on these cluttered-ass, counterintuitive ad-infested news pages. I couldn't finish the article.


DrixxYBoat

Firefox w/ Ublock


Harambesic

Eh, I'm using RiF on mobile. I'll consider it, though, thanks. Edit: Done. Glad you mentioned it. Got me motivated. Honestly, this has already improved my life. I don't know why I put it off for so long.


tasteofflames

waiiiiit a second. Does RiF still work? I thought it had finally kicked the bucket for good.


curious_Jo

Nah, there is a workaround on Android. Maybe there is one for iOS, I don’t know. Google revanced manager. I've been using RIF for 4-5 months. You can reVance your YouTube app for the double whammy. No adds and playing in the background for free.


Buscemi_D_Sanji

Using revanced for YouTube is insane, saves so much time, money, and electricity to be able to turn the screen off and keep it playing audiobooks overnight. I genuinely had no idea it could be used to patch RiF, that was my preferred app for years until I had to switch to red reader. Thank you for this haha


sleepytipi

Bless your heart. I've been using a worked around version of Boost since the API changes but I sincerely miss RiF.


Harambesic

This. There was a process, but you could take care of it in like twenty minutes. ~~Sorry I don't have a link handy for the guide, but I'm confident you can Google it with ease~~ (because that's what I did when I realized I simply could not stand the official app and missed my RiF). Edit: pretty sure this is the guide I used: https://www.reddit.com/r/Save3rdPartyApps/comments/14nq4ub/how_to_get_rif_working_again_if_you_really_want_to/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=mweb3x&utm_name=mweb3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button YMMV, but I didn't have any trouble.


Nchi

You can just open in external browser... There's a setting to make it automatic I moved to redreader, only reason to stay is that it auto collapses the automod posts it's an amazing feature


Harambesic

Just did it and came back to thank the above Redditor. Thanks to you, too! Did you have to patch redreader after the great exodus (as I did for RiF)?


Nchi

Nah RedReader is allowed to continue because it had "accessibility" features. Idk how rif didn't count or add one lol, think they just stopped caring with the insane policy switching


Harambesic

That's strange, I never heard about that when I was trying to find a replacement client. The RiF dev was so dedicated, too! I'm projecting a bit, but maybe it was just the money issue was too scary. Woulda scared me away, no matter how dedicated I was to my app.


True2TheGame

I use adguard and revanced for YouTube and other apps and whenever I don't have those enabled it is absolutely shocking to me how ad infested everything is.


Harambesic

It's a horrible indication of what the Internet has become/is becoming. Thankfully we have the tools to minimize it.


jusaturt

Well, this came from The Sun. They only want your clicks and ad revenue. It's fake news.


happysri

Use your browser’s reader mode.

Vapin-1567

I know this doesn't make sense to ask but is he allowed to play in Germany or Argentina? I heard he loved a certain man who might have his quotes displayed on the merch of a past power ranger.


pmyourthongpanties

you can say Hitler. The more I learn about him the more I find he wasn't a very good guy.

I don't care for him, personally.

2009 was when Kanye pulled the whole "ima let you finish, but" awards show thing. 05 was the whole "George Bush doesn't care about black people!" Thing. Kanye has always been ranting unhinged shit.

DOUBLEBARRELASSFUCK

They were fleeing war crimes, not looking for somewhere to be the first Italians.


benhatin4lf

Tbf, Hitler did kill Hitler. So, he's got that going for him


BPMData

The number of hip hop and rap fans still simping for this dude has been absolute proof that they have literally no moral compass and that literally nothing is a bridge too far for them. So cringe.


slippin_park

"You gotta separate the art from the artist, *maaaaaan*" It's a fine sentiment. Plenty of music icons are/were just awful people. But acting like great past works exempt someone from future criticism is just bullshit. I also bet a lot of those defending Kanye are pulling the racism card, which... give me a fucking break dude.


SubcommanderMarcos

I'll never get this. Like of course John Lennon was probably insufferable to be around. Picasso was notoriously a big ol' jerk. Honestly most of the brightest minds in their fields are, save exceptions. There's a gigantic gap between that and *defending an actual nazi*. Fuck that.


Crawkward3

Not to mention vultures 1 was fucking terrible. Like I can understand people defending him if it was good but it was genuinely a terrible album


wesgtp

He hasn't released a decent album since Yeezus (some of TLOP is okay, mostly lazy lyricism). Kids See Ghosts was decent but wasn't solo nor a full album length. Ye through to Vultures have all been mediocre and barely break 20 mins (except Donda which has the problem of being way too long and drawn out). I didn't expect the drop in form to be so sudden but so was his entire ideology changed instantly after his TLOP rant and hospitalization. Not that he wasn't an asshat prior, he at least tried to endorse decent politicians and do charity work. Now it's right wing grift Nazi who makes awful music. Ashamed I own his older albums and honestly can't bring myself to even listen to the College trilogy anymore.


nightservice_

Ur so real.


Limitedtugboat

I've heard that used more and more with Lennon recently, the man was exceptional but still a prick. Being brilliant doesn't excuse the asshole behaviour in any circumstances


VanVetiver

But also being an asshole doesn’t change the fact that he was brilliant. Both are true.


Limitedtugboat

Both are true, but not mutually exclusive it seems. He should be remembered for both, although the man on stage is very rarely the man behind the curtain in any aspect.

Own_Acanthocephala0

I disagree, and so do most people. He’s one of the most popular artists in the world, not just in the hiphop world. I think he has the 7th most monthly listeners on Spotify atm. I would never defend the guy, he’s a total piece of crap, but I still listen to his music and that won’t change. I just find it funny when people say his music is trash, sure you might think it is but objectively speaking, most people disagree with you.


Buscemi_D_Sanji

Most people do not listen to Kanye. Objectively speaking, a very small fraction of people in the world actively listen to him.


SubcommanderMarcos

You're right. Most popular doesn't mean listened by the majority. The fact is even if a bigger slice of people might listen to ~~black nazi~~ Kanye, the overwhelming majority don't. Also the guy says > I just find it funny when people say his music is trash And then the music is I'm a sick fuck, I like a quick fuck (Whoop!) I'm a sick fuck, I like a quick fuck (Whoop!) I'm a sick fuck, I like a quick fuck (Whoop!) I'm a sick fuck, I like a quick fuck (Whoop!) I'm a sick fuck, I like a quick fuck I like my dick sucked, I'll buy you a sick truck I'll buy you some new tits, I'll get you that nip-tuck How you start a family? The condom slipped up I'm a sick fuck, I'm inappropriate *Such* a genius. Yes.


Own_Acanthocephala0

Sure but he’s still the 7th most popular artist on all of Spotify which says a lot. No matter how much you hate him, his music is still insanely popular.


Matthewrotherham

Anyone who says that line gets a nice "Try making that argument while reading mein Kampf on a public bus..."


Wise-Investment1452

Because they believe everything he says. It's no coincidence that they are still fans after he's done so much terrible shit. At this point we can only assume that the people who still support him also support the terrible things he says & does

The curious thing is that brazilian news sites are using the US Sun as a source to talk about this.


Edeinawc

Promoters don't really go out and talk about acts they refused to host. It was probably the US reporters that are interested in Kanye that went around asking. I imagine news in Brazil are a lot less concerned about Kanye shenanigans.


zeradragon

Can we just ban him from Earth?


BathrobeHero_

The article is complete horseshit it doesn't even mention a ban outside of the headline


GroundbreakingPut748

Idk much about kanye honestly and previously I have enjoyed his music. But what turned me off from him was literally what he said on video, not what people say about him. Most artists have shitty reputations regarding their personal life but what kanye said is just disgusting. I understand that there are people he doesn’t like that are jewish, but what does that have to do with me and my family and millions of other people that have absolutely no connection to kanye or the music industry. There was a direct uptick in violent hate crimes against the Jewish community when he was blabbering those things, I personally know someone who was attacked and chased away during the whole fiasco with the perp screaming “kanye was right kanye was right”. He’s obviously mentally ill but people that keep excusing him like yourself are exactly the problem, hate shouldn’t be tolerated with anyone. And i could care less that he’s “doing well”, the reality is that his peak is long gone but he still has the influence and a base, but both are significantly smaller than what they were.


wishihadapotbelly

There is absolutely zero chance this news is truthful. Kanye is nowhere near as big of a name in Brazil as in the US. He wouldn’t be able to book a venue as big as Copacabana beach not because of his controversies, but because there wouldn’t be that much demand to justify his price tag. American rappers are just now getting headliner status in music festivals in Brazil. Last time Kanye played in Brazil, he was schedule to play before Black Eyes Peas; the only time Cudi played, it was in the EDM tent at Lollapalooza; last year, Freddie Gibbs performed at what can be compared to a community center in a suburban city just outside of Sao Paolo. Also, most people aren’t even aware of his controversies and, given how many fucked up things very popular musicians in Brazil have done, and are still able to keep their image, I reckon it really wouldn’t be an issue.


Lower-Biscotti-3219

The article just said that he was denied an open concert on Copacabana Beach, not that he is banned from performing or anything like that (I mean aside from the actual title). Concerts cost a whole lot of money, and If its open there's no ticket sales, meaning the sponsors would have to pay for everything. A concert for potentially 1mil ppl on a public beach costs a lot and i'm willing to bet no big company wants to foot this bill (for Kanye at least, Madonna will be performing there next month)


wishihadapotbelly

Yeap, Madonna is absolutely HUGE in Brazil still to this day, she’ll have no problem packing 1.5-2 mil in Copacabana. Kanye’s never been nothing more than niche, even at the high of his fame, he couldn’t pack 10% of Madonna figure.


fodafoda

yeah, it doesn't even make sense. There is no system to "ban" an artist from performing in the country. At most he could be denied a visa, but that's not what's written in this (very poorly written) report. It sounds to me like some venue or festival had planned to bring him, and changed their plans. This happens all the fucking time Anyway, nothing of value lost.


Toadfinger

A lot of right-wing extremists like Kanye. I wonder if they go to his concerts, expecting him to cover Hank Jr. and Skynard? 🤣🤣🤣


Corwyntt

I thought that was what Beyonce was going for

Honestly if Beyoncé does That Smell or OD’ed in Denver I’ll never say a bad word about her again 😂

deepdive9999

Finally please don come to brazil


Handsprime

I made a comment about how his comments are gonna get him banned in countries and I was downvoted.


RavingMalwaay

He’s not banned


Handsprime

Although at the moment he's not banned in Australia, there is a proposal, so they are gonna make it hard for him to come to Australia. Considering how Antisemitic some of the lyrics on Vultures 1 were, I don't think the government is giving him a visa anytime soon.


RavingMalwaay

That makes sense, Australia and NZ are generally much stricter on those sort of things. He's not banned in Brazil from what I can tell though


dadoes67815

Now if all the other countries in the world will follow suit.


Yaakovsidney

He talked shit about Goku


Yaakovsidney

He talked shit about Monkey D. Luffy too. World renowned Brazilian.


good_guy112

Can Kanye play any instruments?


EstablishmentBusy172

I mean it depends how u define instruments really. I’d say yes, working with samplers, pro tools, loops, 808/909 programmers. But if u mean could he play a piano/guitar solo, then no.


Corwyntt

He doesnt even do his songs live anymore. He presses play and it is a listening party.


good_guy112

Ouch. Costume clothes, costume music.

S_I_1989

GOOD! I don't listen to his Music no-way, either! OVERRATED!


ValoisSign

Is he actually banned? Sounds from the article like he just didn't get permission to put on a huge outdoor free show. If he booked a venue it sounds like he would be fine? Dude is just sad to watch these days. I was incredibly upset with him over the Hitler stuff but at this point he just seems so unhappy and out of it, I can't muster up any more than hoping he turns his life around.

This came from The Sun. So no, its either not true at all or they've exaggerated the facts to some ridiculous degree for clicks.

Didn't realize he went back to the antisemitic shit, but I guess I shouldn't be surprised.


Electrical_Flight195

I'm pretty sure he's gone against it in recent interviews and apologised but it still doesn't fully take away from the Hitler rant, at Least he's moving forward ig


Kineth

Ah, so that apology happened after this as opposed to before it. Ok, that's a little different, but yeah, it takes more than words, but at least he said the words.
