As far as a musical comeback goes, Kanye West will have to wait for it to happen!
Fans of the award-winning songstress were in high spirits when reports surfaced that she has a new album in the works following the success of last year’s “Donda 2”. However, the ghosts of his past are out to hunt him down, as his exclusive listening party for the new project was scrapped last week.
Kanye West Faces Serious Backlash In Italian Style
The rapper, who was in Italy with his wife, Bianca Censori, flew back to the United States after his audition at the RCF Arena in Reggio Emilia was cancelled. The event, reportedly planned by Vivo Concerti, an Italian music promoter, was scheduled for October 20 and then postponed to October 27.
A set was being built on the spot, but a picture of it being dismantled appeared later. This comes as no surprise, as local veterans groups expressed their dismay when news of the hearing party at the RCF first broke.

Ye’s history of anti-semitic comments, including praising Adolf Hitler, was flagged as disrespectful. Albertina Soliani, vice president of the Italian National Association of Partisans, added:
“It’s time to say enough to these people who believe they can say what they want, Someone can be a great singer but then they are also judged by what they say, and the West has made some inhuman declarations and with what is happening in the world today we cannot accept this concert.”
Ermete Fiaccadori, regional president of ANPI for Reggio Emilia, also shared the same view as he said:
“First of all I just want to say that I hope this concert does not continue, this artist has a large following among young people, but the message is worrying. I was speechless because he couldn’t understand what he was saying, posting a gross misunderstanding of Adolf Hitler in the course of history. I’m all for artistic freedom, but what Kanye West said and did shocked me.”
Apart from Ye’s comments, he was also accused of violating Italy’s anti-terror law by wearing a mask during his visit to Italy. As if that wasn’t enough, the “Donda 1” star has also been given a final warning by authorities regarding public indecency with his wife Censori, and his NSFW choice of clothing.
Ye Have Angry Italian Veterans
Ye had been on an extended vacation with his wife in Italy since August, and in early October, reports emerged that about 80,000 people were scheduled to attend a “secret listening show.”
Pictures emerging from Reggio Emilia show cranes and trucks arriving at the RCF Arena, which was previously used by Harry Styles in the summer. Tons of construction workers were also spotted.

The trip down memory lane focuses on Ye’s interview with Alex Jones from the InfoWars talk show last year. Ye, who is known for his controversial statements, said:
“Every human being has something of value that they bring to the table, especially Hitler. I like Jews, but I also like Nazis. There are many things I like about Hitler, many things, I like Hitler… I am a Nazi.”
This statement sparked a great debate and reaction around the world, including major brands canceling their deals with him and his net worth dropping. It’s an uncomfortable coincidence that just 40 miles from Reggio Emilia — the venue for the now-cancelled show — Nazis killed 24 people in Cervarolo in March 1994.
However, this is not Ye’s first time performing in Italy. Daily Mail reported that the “Selah” singer appeared in front of 60,000 fans in August at a Travis Scott concert in Rome.
This is his first appearance since his anti-Semitic comments were posted. The father of four appeared barefoot in an all-black ensemble. She sang “Praise God” from her 10th studio album, “Donda,” named after her late mother, Donda C West, who died in 2007 at age 58.
The Chicago native also sang her 2007 hit “Can’t Tell Me Nothing” from her third studio album “Graduation.” The concert hit the headlines after 60 people were hospitalized following a pepper spray accident as locals recorded a 1.3-magnitude tremor from jumping fans amid earthquake fears.
