Post Malone Denied Entry At A Hotel Bar For Surprising Reason

by

While touring with the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Post Malone found himself down under. The “Rockstar” singer was just trying to enjoy some drinks at the QT Hotel’s rooftop bar in Perth, Western Australia when he was turned away, despite his fame and success. The reason? Posty’s face tattoos. As it turns out, it doesn’t matter if you are an A-Lister with multiple award wins under your name. The QT Hotel adheres to strict dress codes that are against “face, neck, and offensive tattoos,” even if you are a top-charting artist. Posty noted that this is the first time he has been denied entry for being tatted, according to Consequence.net

With a growing list of over 75 tattoos, Post’s grungy meets eccentric style continues to stand out. On his face alone, he rocks barbed wire alongside the phrases “Stay Away” and “Always Tired.” The New York native is recognized internationally for his tattoos and continues to add to his one-of-a-kind ink collection. Lucky for Post, he was easily able to recuperate the energy of the night. Alongside his entourage, the group switched gears by kicking back with local fans at 18 Knots, another nearby bar.

Post Malone Explains What His Tats Mean

The QT Hotel eventually did issue an apology, telling the DailyMail “at QT, we aim to welcome everyone and celebrate the uniqueness of each individual.” Furthermore, they state, “our third-party security did not exercise the appropriate discretion, and we take full responsibility for this. We sincerely apologize to the individuals affected.” While the half-hearted apology hints at admiring individuality, it’s unclear as to why the organization maintains such rigid rules.

Last summer, Post released his latest album Twelve Carat Toothache, which earned him number two on the US Billboard’s 200. Prior to his Australia shows, he toured the album with Roddy Rich as the opening act. It’s unlikely that such an incident will discourage this rockstar, who already has exciting plans coming up in the next few months. As his stadium run with the Red Hot Chili Peppers ended this week, he’s headed back to the states to perform at BottleRock 2023 in Napa Valley.

Kanye West May Be Denied Entry To Australia Over Antisemitism

by

Kanye West may be unable to obtain an Australian visa due to his history of antisemitic behavior. One government minister said on Wednesday that Ye’s “awful” antisemitic comments could result in him being denied access by the country.

West is reportedly hoping to travel to his new wife Bianca Censori’s hometown of Melbourne to meet her family.

“People like that who’ve applied for visas to get into Australia in the past have been rejected,” Minister for Education Jason Clare said in an interview with CNN affiliate Nine News. “I expect that if he does apply he would have to go through the same process and answer the same questions that they did.”

Ye has made all sorts of antisemitic comments in recent months. He admitted to liking Adolf Hitler while speaking with Alex Jones, shared a Swastika on Twitter, and more. He’s also been hanging out with infamous white nationalist Nick Fuentes.

Executive Council of Australian Jewry co-chief Peter Wertheim addressed the situation in a statement to Sky News.

“We’ve made the case that this particular individual does not meet the character test and that it would be in the national interest not to grant him a visa and we set out our reasons in some detail,” Wertherim said.

Australia has blocked far-right figures from entering the country for failing the “good character” test in previous years. In 2015, they blocked British conspiracy theorist David Icke who was on a speaking tour.

Immigration Minister Andrew Giles will likely make the final decision on Kanye West’s access to the country.

West and Censori reportedly tied the knot, earlier this month, however, they did so without filing a marriage certificate.

Australian Jewish Orgs Want Kanye West Banned From Country

by

It’s said Kanye West is visiting our friends Down Under in an effort to bond with his new in-laws, but Australia’s Anti-Defamation Commission (ADC) wants the rapper ousted. Although we haven’t heard much from West in recent weeks, his racially insensitive, anti-Semitic remarks have been imprinted in pop culture. The Rap mogul has been banned from several social media platforms, and many lucrative business deals were ended.

It was revealed that he allegedly married 27-year-old Bianca Censori, an architect that reportedly worked for Yeezy. The Australian designer is said to have wed West in a private ceremony. They have allegedly made their way to her home country to visit her relatives.

However, Australia Anti-Defamation Commission has penned a statement about the rapper’s visit. They want the country to ban West.

“Calling for violence and hate must have consequences, and Australia should not put out the welcome mat and provide a platform to a hatemonger who spews threats against the Jewish community and peddles conspiracy myths about Jewish power, greed and control,” Dr. Dvir Abramovich, Chairman of the civil rights organization ADC, told Billboard.

“This kind of rhetoric is dangerous and has real-world consequences,” Abramovich also stated. “Given the more than 30 million followers that this person has and who may start believing that his demonization of the Jewish community and that they must act.”

“Allowing Kanye into Australia would also send the wrong signal about our nation and violate our core values of tolerance, diversity and respect. At a time of rising antisemitism in Australia and increasing vilification, his presence in the country, revolting anti-Jewish propaganda and incitement, and abhorrent rhetoric poses a significant risk to the Jewish community.

“On the basis of his record of demonization of the Jewish people (’death con 3 on JEWISH PEOPLE’) we urge Minister Giles to use his powers under section 501 of The Migration Act and refuse Kanye entry.”

The Australian Jewish Association also fired off an open letter asking for Ye to be blocked from entering the country.

“Antisemitism is at elevated levels in Australia, part of a worldwide trend. Multiple recent antisemitic incidents across Australia have specifically referenced Kanye West,” they said. “Including graffiti in Melbourne and leaflets in Brisbane.”

It is unclear if any steps will actually be taken. Meanwhile, West has not spoken about the rumors of his new marriage. It has been further suggested that West is currently working on his 2024 campaign for President of the United States.

Kanye West & Bianca Censori Travel To Australia To Meet Her Family: Report

by

Slowly but surely, more details regarding Kanye West and Bianca Censori’s relationship are reaching the public. According to a report from The Herald Sun today (January 22), the rapper may be travelling to Australia to meet his new wife’s foreign family.

The happy couple “will spend time in Ivanhoe, east of the CBD, where Censori grew up,” the outlet alleges. As you may recall, the 27-year-old and her beau were reportedly married at a private ceremony at a resort in Utah earlier this month. Since then, they’ve both been sporting luxurious rings to symbolize their union.

Sources have made it clear that the wedding was real for both Censori and West. However, a marriage certificate might not exist, meaning it may not have been legal.

According to Daily Mail, the architect is originally from Victoria. Her LinkedIn profile reveals that she attended Carey Baptist Grammar School. After high school, she and a friend named Irene launched a jewellery company called “Nylons.” The idea came as the two girls were making chokers and bracelets for themselves from Swarovski crystals. Eventually, they realized that their creative hobby had serious business potential.

Censori kept this project up while studying at the University of Melbourne from 2013 to 2017. The last two years of her Bachelor’s degree also saw her working as a design consultant at the furniture design company Kelektiv.

The brunette beauty continued her education as she pursued her Masters in Architecture at DP Toscano Architects. By November 2020, she was ready to move on to better things, leaving Australia behind to work for Yeezy in Los Angeles. She was brought on by West as the Head of Architecture, and they’ve obviously since built a close working relationship.

After her relationship with the father of four went public, Censori promptly deactivated her social media profiles. Hopefully, in the future, she’ll begin to share more of the pair’s life together with fans.

Elsewhere in the news, sources say that Ye’s ex, Kim Kardashian “hates” Censori. Sources initially claimed that the tension between the two is because of the latter’s good looks.

However, those reports were shut down by others stating that the socialite isn’t paying attention to the drama. Read her apparent thoughts on the recent romance here, and check back later for more pop culture news updates.
