Kanye West & Ty Dolla Sign’s Italy Show Uncertain Amid Controversy and Permit Issues

Kanye West and Ty Dolla $ign’s highly anticipated joint concert in Italy may not be happening as previously planned. The event, which was supposed to take place on October 27 at RCF Arena, has faced several obstacles that now cast doubt on its occurrence.

No Show?

Kanye West and Ty Dolla $ign fans may be disappointed. Their highly anticipated joint concert in Italy may happen differently than planned.

According to Billboard, the concert was never officially confirmed, and the concert stage has been dismantled. Ye has returned to the United States with his wife, Bianca Censori, indicating that the show may no longer be going ahead. 

The controversy surrounding Ye is believed to be one of the reasons why the concert has been thrown into uncertainty. His past social media rants, labeled anti-Semitic, have sparked backlash from local feminists and anti-fascist associations in Italy. 

Permit Issues

These groups have raised objections to his presence in the country and likely contributed to the complications surrounding the event.

Furthermore, the concert venue, RCF Arena, has encountered permit issues, which have hindered the construction of the stage. It has been reported that necessary permits were not obtained by the mid-October deadline, thereby stalling the preparations for the show.

As of now, Ye or Ty Dolla $ign have yet to address the status of their joint album or if they plan to reschedule the show in the United States or elsewhere.
