Kanye West Drama: San Antonio Mayor Calls for Cancellation of Rapper’s July 4 Concert at Alamodome

Kanye West is facing more pushback. Specifically from San Antonio Mayor Gina Ortiz Jones, who has called for the cancellation of his July 4 concert at the Alamodome.

The mayor, a U.S. Air Force veteran, shared her stance on Saturday night. She cited West’s history of hate speech and anti-Semitic remarks.

“I support canceling the @kanyewest concert. Military City USA should not host someone with a record of hate speech and antisemitic comments in a city-funded facility like our Alamodome, not ever, and certainly not on July 4th, our Nation’s 250th birthday.”

Tickets for the show are currently available. Prices range from $127.50 for upper-level seats to $1,461.25 for a front-row experience.

The July 4 date falls in the middle of West’s summer mini-tour. He has successfully performed in Mexico City, Los Angeles, Turkey, the Netherlands, and Georgia. However, his shows have been cancelled in England, Poland, and France.

Florida Senator Rick Scott recently called for Ye’s Tampa performances to be cancelled. Scott called West’s remarks “vile and a slap in the face to our state’s Jewish community.”

On Friday, West released a deluxe edition of his latest album, ‘Bully.’ It features updated mixes and new songs, including a Lauryn Hill collaboration.
