Kanye West is losing popularity with Coachella fans petition to have him removed as one of the headline acts. The music festival which is set to take place between 15 to 24 April, will feature ‘Ye’ as one of the main artists.
His recent public threats to ex-wife Kim Kardashian’s new boyfriend Pete Davidson has anti-Kanye support building.
The online petition which has a target of 50 000 signatures is gaining traction with over 35K people in support of Kanye not taking the stage this year.
“We have watched Kanye harass, manipulate, and hurt Kim, Pete, and others for over a year now. No one seems to want to stand up to him, and the ones that do, he puts under fire as well. Most recently, he has been threatening actual bodily harm on others. This is ridiculous that he is allowed to freely do this. Coachella (along with other brand names that are still working with him) should be ashamed of themselves and should not be giving him any more of a platform. Please sign & share!
Carmello Marie who started the petition shared
Kanye’s recent racial slurs towards Trevor Noah had him banned from Instagram for 24-hours.
Fans believe his behaviour is erratic and bordering on violent, especially after his disturbing music video for his latest release, Eazy.
