On April 6, Kanye West is set to headline all three days of London's wireless festival this July, despite his long history of stirring of drama. Brands have been quick to back out, starting with Pepsi and Rockstar Energy, Vindy Agio, and now PayPal has poured his promotional support over his involvement. UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer called it deeply concerning, pointing to Kanye's past anti-submitted comments and other offensive stances that have no butter and rays placed anywhere. Public reactions stay split, but that hasn't slowed him down. His new album bully just moved 152,000 units in its first week. Landing at number two on the Billboard 200, meanwhile, he wrapped two sold-out nights at Sofai Stadium last week, raking in $33 million in smashing records for tickets and gross at the LA spot. Controversy or not, YAY keeps caching checks and commanding stages.
