After it was revealed that Kanye West and his “Vulture” collaborator TY Dolla $ign were denied access to stadiums and event centers overseas ranging from Europe, Asia, Millan, Madrid, Berlin, Cologne, and Munich, the Middle East, etc., the “Donda” rapper couldn’t help but complain bitterly that people are no longer interested in paying for “High-quality music.”

Taking to Instagram on Sunday, the 46-year-old reposted several tweets from one of his regular collaborators James Blake who first laid complaints on the X platform (formerly Twitter) about musicians not getting the worth of their music after making and releasing great songs.
One of James’ tweets read, “Something I keep seeing is ‘if you’re lucky enough to go viral, just use the exposure to generate income some other way.’ Musicians should be able to generate income via their music. Do you want good music or do you want what you paid for?”
The “Assume Form” artist went on to make another tweet saying, “If we want quality music somebody is gonna have to pay for it. Streaming services don’t pay properly, labels want a bigger cut than ever and just sit and wait for you to go viral, TikTok doesn’t pay properly, and touring is getting prohibitively expensive for most artists.”
The “Graduation” rapper also went to his wife Bianca Censori’s hometown in Australia to seek a place to perform his newly released album “Vulture” but the result was the same with other places. After trying out several places and getting “No” for an answer, he and TY Dolla $ign both reposted James’ tweets as a form of protest.

Kanye West — Kanye Was Denied Stadium Access Overseas Due To His ‘Controversial’ Image
A source recently told “The U.S. Sun” that Europe has denied the rapper access to use their stadiums to perform his songs despite having slated to play at the Rolling Loud festival in California on March 14 in Europe. The source said, “His reputation and the controversies in the last few years are the main reason for this. Now almost no companies that manage arenas or stadiums want to allow him to do shows on their venues.”
The refusal to allow Kanye access to their stadium comes after Kanye’s recent “listening experience” held in Paris, where the event organizers were blasted by angry fans and audience who came to watch Kanye and Ty Dolla $ign perform but were disappointed.
The show was described as a “rip-off” after waiting to see the artists perform their songs but instead got to listen to the whole songs in the album play while the two didn’t bother to pick up the microphone.
The insider revealed that Kanye’s next target is Milan’ famous San Siro soccer stadium. The source shared that although the controversial rapper has a good relationship with Inter Milan’s ownership group, “the majority of the board are still against the idea of allowing him to use the stadium to have his show.”

The source continued, “They know that Kanye’s presence and having him doing shows at a stadium can have them make a lot of money, but the risk, and the image, is more important for the arenas and stadium owners. It’s going to be really, really complicated for Kanye to do shows in Europe.”
