Yeezy On Pause: Is Kanye West Really Cancelled, Or Nah?

As a culture, we’ve ranted and raved about canceling Kanye West more times than he’s said “Yeezy.”

We care about your data. See our privacy policy.

// Autosize iframe
var funcSizeResponse = function( e ) {

var origin = document.createElement( 'a' );
origin.href = e.origin;

// Verify message origin
if ( 'embeds.go.ione.nyc' !== origin.host )
return;

// Verify message is in a format we expect
if ( 'object' !== typeof e.data || undefined === e.data.msg_type )
return;

switch ( e.data.msg_type ) {
case 'poll_size:response':
var iframe = document.getElementById( e.data._request.frame_id );

if ( iframe && '' === iframe.width )
iframe.width = '100%';
if ( iframe && '' === iframe.height )
iframe.height = parseInt( e.data.height );

return;
default:
return;
}
}

if ( 'function' === typeof window.addEventListener ) {
window.addEventListener( 'message', funcSizeResponse, false );
} else if ( 'function' === typeof window.attachEvent ) {
window.attachEvent( 'onmessage', funcSizeResponse );
}
}
if (document.readyState === 'complete') { func.apply(); /* compat for infinite scroll */ }
else if ( document.addEventListener ) { document.addEventListener( 'DOMContentLoaded', func, false ); }
else if ( document.attachEvent ) { document.attachEvent( 'onreadystatechange', func ); }
} )();

But it seems as though every time he drops a new album, has a slammin’ Sunday service and drops some fire Yeezy merch, his cancellation is discontinued and his foolery is ignored.

Let’s be real, any other artists would’ve been banned from speaking certain places after claiming that slavery was a choice. But not Kanye.

The Kardashian King loves to troll us, and it’s starting to seem like some folks like it —dare I say, admire him for it.

@OgEchi: Happy birthday President Kanye Omari West!game changer,innovator,the supporter of youths and talents, the only artist who coughs & it makes headlines; the fearless & kindest of them all, husband and father of the most cutest kids in Hollywood. Keep breaking boundaries sir

But when is enough enough? When is too far too far?

@sheis_g: Kanye thought that the asshole/bad guy shit was gon keep him in the press… then he went too far

@therealseeran: Y’all give Kanye the most handouts I’ve ever seen. Everything he does is dismissed as “genius” and “art” I don’t think any other artist would get this many passes. You have to draw the line somewhere. What can and what can’t be accepted.

CHECK OUT THESE MOMENTS  that almost, and should have, got Kanye West completely outta here.
