Kanye West's Downfall: From Global Star to Pariah

Kanye has been told to ‘stay away’ from Germany, France, the UK, Spain, Italy, Scandinavia and Australia due to his pro-Nazi views

KANYE WEST'S FADING STAR: A GLOBAL PARIAH IN FREEFALL!

In a shocking turn of events, Kanye West's music career is plummeting faster than a failed rocket ship! The self-proclaimed genius has been left scrambling for gigs after becoming a global pariah due to his blatant support for Fascism. Sources close to the situation reveal that even before he released his latest abomination, "Heil Hitler," on May 8th, Wembley Stadium and London Stadium in the UK had already turned him down.

But wait, it gets worse! His team has been frantically dialing around trying to book new shows, but apparently, no one wants a piece of the Nazi-loving rapper. "No one will touch him with a barge pole," says an insider. And why should they? He's demanding a whopping $7 million per night – more than Adele and Coldplay get for their gigs!

So, where can you find this self-absorbed superstar now? None other than the Rubicon festival in Bratislava, Slovakia, on July 20th! This intimate gathering of 26,000 people might be his only option left after being banned from Europe (Germany, France, UK, Spain, Italy, Scandinavia, and Australia) and facing protests everywhere. And to make matters worse, the seat price is a whopping $200 (£147), making it impossible for the venue to recoup its costs unless they're getting a slice of higher-value resale tickets.

But that's not all! Kanye has lost his most trusted lieutenants and is under immense financial pressure. His crisis is worse than anyone suspects – he lost more than $3 million overnight in May alone! His other sources of income are being shut down one by one: Adidas cancelled its massive clothing deal with Yeezy brand, kicking him off the Forbes billionaire list from $2 billion to a paltry $400 million.

And if that's not enough, Shopify pulled his Yeezy website, and brands like Balenciaga and The Gap severed ties. My source says he's still living large, but the money has stopped rolling in. "He was badly hurt by the end of the Adidas deal."

Oh, and did I mention that his team is falling apart? His publicist Milo Yiannopoulos has dropped him, and long-time manager John Monopoly has walked away. He's lost millions on bad real estate deals, including a reported $36 million hit on a house in Malibu last year. And let's not forget the lavish spending on hotels – he and his wife Bianca Censori are living large, even though they have a house in Beverly Hills.

Kanye gives Bianca hundreds of thousands of dollars every time she walks out in stunt clothing he's chosen. Talk about a sugar daddy! Meanwhile, he's facing as many as a dozen potentially costly lawsuits from former employees.

As a result, Kanye has been touting directly for business on social media – even after deleting his Instagram account recently, he still has 19 million followers! He's asking concert promoters to put money directly in his account, which is a major no-no in the music industry. And if that wasn't enough, one of his few paying gigs – a concert in Shanghai, China – has HALVED his pay due to violating a "good behavior" clause after he released the Heil Hitler single.

After all the hubbub, it's clear that Kanye is a man on a mission – to ruin his own reputation and career! And yet, somehow, the Rubicon festival has managed to scrape together his full fee – despite the storm of protest over his planned appearance. A petition has been launched calling on the mayor of Bratislava to prevent West from performing, accusing him of "glorifying wartime violence" and debasing all victims of the Nazi regime.

As many as 3,500 people have signed the petition, endorsed by representatives from organizations like Peace for Ukraine and Cities for Democracy. It's unacceptable that Bratislava should be the only city in Europe hosting a performance by West, attracting radical and extremist groups from Slovakia and abroad.

This is not just about Kanye West; it's about the very fabric of our society. How can we stand idly by as someone with such hateful views is given a platform? It's impossible to understand how anyone could hold these beliefs – and yet, it seems his depraved behavior has no end.
