Kanye West recently took to his Instagram story to express frustration over his inability to book arena shows for his new music performances. The rapper implied that his controversial remarks, particularly those deemed antisemitic, might be the reason behind the venues’ reluctance to host him. He suggested that those who manage the arenas and stadiums have an issue with him because of his past hateful rants.

In a video shared on his Instagram, Kanye hinted at the possibility that his bookings are being hindered due to the negative perception surrounding him. He singled out the United Center in Chicago as the only venue that has been open to him in the past year. It’s where he plans to host a listening party for his upcoming album, “Vultures,” alongside Ty Dolla $ign.

Despite claiming to have sold out the United Center within seven minutes, Kanye feels sidelined by the industry, insinuating that he’s being blacklisted. He emphasized his point further by posting an all-caps note on his Instagram, likening his situation to something out of an Elvis Presley movie, where he feels barred from performing.

Kanye’s remarks come amid a time when he’s faced backlash for various public statements and actions, including his controversial political affiliations and remarks about slavery. As he continues to navigate the complexities of fame and public perception, his struggles with booking venues shed light on the consequences of his outspoken nature.
