Legendary rapper and producer Kanye West has had a rough couple of years, after a failed presidential campaign in 2020, his divorce fromKim Kardashian, and some serious mental health issues, with his behavior appearing to be more and more erratic. However, it looks like things are getting better for Ye.

The rapper formerly known as Kanye West is attempting a big comeback after the release of 'Donda 2', reportedly having another album in the works set to be released soon. However, he still faces backlash from past controversies, more notably his 'neo-nazi' phase when he praised Adolf Hitler and was seen with far-right figures.

Kanye West's event was canceled in Italy

Ye was in Italy with his wife Bianca Censori a few days ago, planning a listening party at the RCF Arena in the city of Reggio Emilia. The event was originally scheduled to be held on October 20 but was pushed back to October 27, just to be later canceled due to protests from mainly Italian veterans and partisan groups.

They stated that West's presence was disrespectful 'considering the political climate' for his past comments praising Adolf Hitler and a wide variety of anti-semitic statements that Ye did not so long ago. It is reported that the rapper and his wife Censori flew back to the United States.

Kanye West and his far-right phase

Kanye West has flirted with far-right extremism in the not-so-distant past, as he attempted yet another presidential run for 2024 along with American white nationalist Nick Fuentes and British alt-right figure Milo Yannopolous in 2022, where they even held a meeting with former president Donald Trump.

After his anti-semitic comments and his praises towards Hitler, he saw several collaborations, partnerships, and sponsorships terminated with various high-profile brands like Adidas, Balenciaga, Vogue, and Def Jam Records, amongst others.
