Controversial American rapper Kanye West, infamously known as Ye, who has recently been in the spotlight for his antisemitic comments, is now headlining the Rolling Loud festival in Los Angeles this weekend. Despite the backlash for his lyrics, the festival has included him in their lineup, sparking criticism from various quarters including fans, media, and public figures. The Los Angeles Times highlighted the division among fans, with some viewing his inclusion as unacceptable, suggesting antisemitism has become normalized. The event, slammed for featuring West, has also drawn attention for promoting Ye and Ty Dolla Sign's set as a performance only for it to be a listening party. Amidst the controversy, notable attendees at the festival included Kim Kardashian and North West.
