Kanye West's tour across the United States was always going to be controversial. After four years' worth of anti-semitic rants, some governments simply do not want West within their jurisdiction. He has been banned from countries, while local governments across the United States try to put up a fight against his concerts.
Last week, Ye's longtime employee, who just so happens to be an infamous white supremacist, Milo Yiannopoulos, was arrested by ICE. He has since been let go by ICE and has gone back to working for the artist.
In fact, this week, Ye announced three more concerts. After performing in New Orleans, West is planning to go on a small tour of the American Southwest. This tour includes a show in Houston on October 31, Dallas on November 7, and Phoenix on November 21.
Kanye West Continues To Tour
These shows have proven that Kanye West is still in high demand. There is still a portion of his fanbase that looks past the controversies. While the morality behind that is dubious, Ye is a big enough artist that there are going to be fans who love him, no matter what.
These concerts have also proven to be successful because of the setlist. Instead of forcing new material on the fans, he has been going back in his catalog and playing all of the hits. The setlist is nostalgic, and it certainly makes us yearn for a time when Ye was respected.
Will you be going to any of these shows, and if so, which one? Let us know in the comments below, and stay tuned to HNHH for more news from around the music world.
