Kanye West Shares Post Praising His Comeback Show Cancellations Due To Anti-Semitic Remarks

Kanye West is drawing attention online after sharing a video clip to his Instagram story that frames his comeback against powerful forces within the industry. The repost features music executive Ray Daniels discussing West’s ability to still draw massive crowds despite facing backlash in recent years. In the clip, Daniels points to the artist’s successful Los Angeles shows as evidence that public support remains strong. “In the midst of him being canceled, he sold 70,000 tickets in L.A.,” Daniels says. He goes on to claim that influential figures in finance and corporate spaces didn’t want to support West, adding, “all those guys that run Morgan Stanley, run this bank, totally didn’t want your money.” The remarks are notably anti-Semitic stereotypes that claim Jewish people control financial institutions. Ye has previously been criticized for his anti-Semitic remarks, which he has since apologized for. Daniels argues that West’s connection with fans has allowed him to remain relevant regardless of industry resistance. “As long as he got the people, you can’t beat him,” he says in the video, positioning fan support as the ultimate measure of success.
