Ye
aka
Kanye
West
is
claiming
that
he’s
struggling
to
book
venues
for
his
concerts,
leading
him
to
ask
for
help
in
a
social
media
post.
According
to
Page
Six,
controversial
rapper
Kanye
West
is
claiming
that
he’s
facing
difficulties
in
booking
venues,
to
the
point
where
he’s
implying
that
his
antisemitic
actions
may
have
something
to
do
with
it.
West
made
his
claims
in
a
now-deleted
video
that
he
posted
to
his
Instagram
account
Tuesday
(Feb.
6),
with
a
lisp
to
his
voice
–
potentially
due
to
the
new
titanium
fronts
he’s
been
sporting
for
the
past
few
weeks.
“We
just
sold
out
the
United
Center
in
7
minutes,
and
I
just
want
to
express
to
everybody
out
there
to
see
if
it’s
anyone
that
can
help
with
this.
It’s
the
only
arena
that
I
had
access
to
in
the
past
year,”
Ye
began.
“And
when
I
call,
people
say
there
are
no
avails
for
me
and
you
know
why
that
is,”
he
added,
alluding
to
the
numerous
episodes
of
antisemitic
comments
and
outlandish
behavior
coming
from
him
over
the
past
two
years.
“So
if
there’s
anybody
out
there
that
can
help
with
this,
please
do.”
West
would
then
follow
up
that
video
with
another
post,
where
he
claimed
that
his
situation
was
akin
to
that
of
Elvis
Presley.
“I
have
not
been
able
to
perform
in
a
year,”
he
wrote
in
the
also-deleted
post.
“Feels
like
the
Elvis
Presley
movie.”
Six
hours
after
those
posts
were
made,
the
46-year-old
artist
claimed
that
he
had
been
receiving
numerous
offers
to
perform
at
venues
all
over
the
world,
sharing
the
list
he
received
via
texts
and
screenshots
of
arena
dates
for
cities
including
New
York,
Toronto
and
Los
Angeles
in
addition
to
Chicago.
West
would
later
make
a
post
on
his
Instagram
Stories
writing,
“Please
reach
out
to
Cara
Lewis
Group
for
all
bookings.”
The
Cara
Lewis
Group
is
a
New
York-based
entertainment
representation
group
that
has
Travis
Scott
and
Eminem
on
its
roster.
His
past
behavior
has
made
concert
promoters
leery
with
one
unnamed
source
saying
as
much
to
Rolling
Stone
in
2022:
“Whether
or
not
it’s
intended,
by
booking
Kanye
at
this
point
in
time,
you’re
endorsing
his
words
…
He
needs
to
walk
away
from
what
he
said
before
most
venues
would
work
with
him.”
West
would
issue
an
apology
to
the
Jewish
community
in
Hebrew
on
his
Instagram
page
at
the
outset
of
the
year.
