The Game Claims Kanye West Was Pulled From The Grammys
Kanye West won’t be performing at the Grammys next month.
According to The Game, Ye was scheduled to take the stage at the 64th annual ceremony, but he has been “pulled” from the lineup at the last minute.
In a lengthy post, Ye’s “Eazy” collaborator blasted the Recording Academy for their decision. He claims that the removal may have to do with Ye’s recent comments about Grammys host Trevor Noah or his 24-hour suspension from Instagram.
“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,” Game told his 12 million followers. “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.”
Despite Game’s claim, the Grammys never officially announced Ye as a performer. After being delayed from January, the show is slated to take place April 3 in Las Vegas with performances from Lil Nas X, Jack Harlow, Billie Eilish, BTS, and more.
Ye is still slated to headline Coachella next month. However, there is a petition circulating online calling for his removal from the festival, with over 15,000 signatures so far.
