Kanye West Can’t Be Canceled, According To The Game, Angela Yee & Bill Maher

February 4, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Kanye West’s public controversies and points of “cancelation” could be an entire multi-season television show. Moreover, he has too much content and work associated with him to sum anything up concisely, but it’s fair to say that this is a very pressing question of public interest thanks to his recent antisemitism and album teases. TMZ is actually releasing a documentary, airing on FOX on Monday, February 5, on this aspect of Ye. Of course, he doesn’t exactly like the outlet, but they nonetheless reached out to other celebs to get their take on whether he’s “cancelable,” despite his probable issues with that. At the end of the day, it’s just more attention, so maybe it’s no big deal for the Chicago provocateur.

First up is Kanye West’s “Eazy” collaborator The Game, who told TMZ that he can’t be canceled. Furthermore, he reasoned that Kanye’s mentality is what prevents this scrutiny from ruining his career and preventing its progression. The California rapper argued that he’s not afraid of “cancel culture,” and that said fearlessness protects pretty much whatever sewage he spouts. While that’s a scary thought, it’s more of an ever-frightening reality given just how water folks let under the bridge.

Angela Yee, The Game & Bill Maher Argue For Kanye West’s Shield From Cancelation: Watch

Next, Bill Maher thinks that Kanye West is simply a lucky man who dodges the Grim Reaper of public opinion at every turn. The commentator and TV personality pointed out how many other entertainers faced much worse consequences for way less bigoted and combative incidents. Meanwhile, folks are still very excited for his (presumably) upcoming album series, Vultures. Others, Maher argues, lost their careers entirely for undue reasons when compared to the 46-year-old’s limitless free passes.

Finally in this segment, Angela Yee’s belief is that he has so many line-crossing moments that they lost meaning. Only a verifiable and heavy crime, the radio host thinks, would truly stop the Yeezy mogul in his track. Not even his public and toxic fallout with his equally famous ex-wife could turn the whole industry against him. Whether that’s warranted or not is for you to have an opinion on.

As of Saturday, it appears that Moneybagg Yo’s show is the only canceled event. AEW Wrestling, Kirk Franklin, and Stevie Nicks, are all still set to perform at the venue. It’s unclear what led to the cancelation of Moneybagg Yo’s concert; however, Lil Baby recently stopped a performance at FedEx Forum short due to gunfire breaking out. “A person was shot last night at FedEx Forum during the Lil Baby concert. The incident is under investigation and we are fully cooperating with the Memphis Police Department,” a spokesperson for the venue said afterward, according to Fox 13. Lil Baby added on Twitter: “Unfortunately I Couldn’t Perform Last Night In Memphis, Ima Make Sure Everybody Gets A Refund Tho (heart hands emoji).”

Moneybagg Yo kicked off his Larger Than Life tour in Orlando, last month. The concert in Memphis was set to conclude the run of shows. He’s already performed in Atlanta, New York, and Los Angeles. Be on the lookout for further updates on the tour on HotNewHipHop.

IShowSpeed Sparks Fan Concern For His Health After Canceling Stream Last-Minute

August 12, 2023 by newhiphopnews

One of the biggest streamers today, IShowSpeed, has unfortunately been unable to get back to his craft in some time. Moreover, Darren Watkins Jr. recently went to a hospital in Tokyo after he suffered painful headaches and medical officials discovered that he had a sinus infection. While he fortunately recovered from this, he had to go back to a facility shortly after, and many fans are worried about his health. In fact, his run-in at the hospital almost rendered his eye unable to see, but doctors were able to assess the situation and prevent that. Considering these difficult and unforeseen complications, it’s unclear whether this will be a significant long-term factor affecting his content.

Furthermore, IShowSpeed actually planned to return with a stream on Thursday (August 10), but canceled it at the last minute. Not only did the sudden news disappoint fans hopeful for a return, it made them wonder whether it has something to do with his health issues. This hospital visit in Tokyo was back in July, so at least in Internet and streaming time, it’s been a while since we’ve seen him on our screens. Later, fans confirmed their worries when Speed said that he wants to come back to the live online space once he feels completely recovered.

Sure, many fans expressed disappointment and even anger at this, but others took a more rightfully empathetic approach. After all, we don’t even know how much his streams affected his health in the first place, whether it was this infection or other areas of well-being. Previously, IShowSpeed had let fans know that doctors diagnosed him with a cluster headache, the cause of which is still unknown. During his stay in Tokyo, supporters in the hospital area gathered outside of it and chanted his name to lift his spirits.

Meanwhile, news broke just recently that he arrived in the United States safely following this scare. It’s been a hectic few weeks for the online sensation, with him getting in cahoots with the Kardashian clan shortly before this whole ordeal. With that in mind, we hope that he continues his steady recovery and can fully enjoy his return to the screen. On that note, keep checking in with HNHH for the latest news and updates on IShowSpeed.
