This week, Kanye West’s past antisemitic actions caught up with him. The UK banned him from visiting; preventing his recently-announced performance at the Wireless festival later this summer. His appearances in the UK are part of his ‘comeback’ tour for his new album, with performances scheduled in multiple countries this year.
Kanye has expressed regret for his activities, which included selling t-shirts with swastikas and releasing a song that glorified Hitler, and he has attributed them to his mental disorder. With rising levels of global antisemitism, his appearances have become increasingly controversial. But despite his UK ban Kanye is selling out shows in US stadiums. So will Kanye West be able to make a comeback?
