Kanye West has been barred from performing at the the 2021 Grammy Awards.
According to The Game, Ye’s cohort on “Eazy,” the fellow rapper took to social media stating that the Grammys made a “last minute” decision to pull West from performing at the ceremony, where West’s Donda is among the finalists for Album of the Year along with other nominations.
“The Grammys have at the last minute decided to pull [Kanye West] from performing on the show as if we didn’t know it was coming,” the Game wrote on Instagram Friday.
“Could be because [Trevor Noah, who Kanye lashed out at on Instagram before his account was suspended and scrubbed clean] 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…”
When asked for comment on the Game’s Instagram post, a rep for West told Rolling Stone that “This is confirmed” and linked to a report by the Blast where sources said West’s Grammy performance was “scrapped” due to “concerning online behavior.”
