Kanye West Barred From Performing at Grammys, His Rep Confirms

Meanwhile, fellow rapper The Game has defended Kanye amid news of his Grammys performance cancellation in an Instagram post containing a graphic that reads, “When will all the BLACK entertainers, Athletes, Actors, Producers, Writers, Directors, Media etc…figure it out.”

“The Grammys have at the last minute decided to pull @kanyewest from performing on the show as if we didn’t know it was coming,” he wrote. “Could be because @trevornoah is hosting and there was a conversation held amongst his team & the academy that led to the decision or because Ye’s account was suspended just days ago for reasons unknown especially in a world where all the negativities of the world can be found on the same app with no repercussions or suspensions.”

He continued, “We’ll just say it’s all of the above & a continuous disrespect for us & all that we have brought to the table in entertainment, media & sports over the last 100 years especially.”
