After Instagram Ban, Kanye West Now Barred From Performing At Grammys 2022 Due To ‘Concerning Online Behaviour’

Kanye
West
who
was
recently
suspended
from
photo-sharing
app,
Instagram
now
reportedly
has
been
barred
from
performing
at
the
Grammy
Awards
due
to
his
“concerning
online
behaviour”.
According
to
Variety,
the
news
was
confirmed
by
West’s
representative.

West
Suspended
From
Instagram
Over
Hate
Speech,
Bullying
And
Harassment

West’s
represented
claimed
that
the
artist’s
team
received
a
phone
call
Friday
night
informing
him
he
had
been
“unfortunately” removed
from
the
lineup
of
performers
for
the
show
due
to
his
“concerning
online
behaviour”.

However,
Blast
report
stated
that
“Kanye’s
team
isn’t
surprised
by
the
decision” to
remove
him
from
the
lineup.
Reportedly
the
organisers
may
be
concerned
about
West’s
interaction
with
host
Trevor
Noah
at
the
awards
night.
Recently,
West
used
a
slur
against
Noah
in
an
Instagram
post
regarding
the
host’s
comments
about
his
split
with
Kim
Kardashian.
Ye’s
post
also
resulted
in
his
ban
from
Instagram
for
24-hours.

West
collaborator
and
veteran
rapper
the
Game
confirmed
the
news
with
his
post.
He
claimed
that
“The
Grammys
have
at
the
last
minute
decided
to
pull
(Kanye
West)
from
performing
on
the
show
as
if
we
didn’t
know
it
was
coming,”
as
a
means
to
suppress
them.

The
post
further
speculated,
“Could
be
because
(Trevor
Noah)
is
hosting
and
there
was
a
conversation
held
amongst
his
team
&
the
academy
that
led
to
the
decision
or
because
Ye’s
account
was
suspended
just
days
ago
for
reasons
unknown,
especially
in
a
world
where
all
the
negativities
of
the
world
can
be
found
on
the
same
app
with
no
repercussions
or
suspensions.
We’ll
just
say
it’s
all
of
the
above
and
a
continuous
disrespect
for
us
and
all
that
we
have
brought
to
the
table
in
entertainment,
media
&
sports
over
the
last
100
years
especially.”

The
US
rapper
Ye
is
up
for
five
categories
at
the
2022
Grammy
Award
including
Album
of
the
Year.
Notably,
West
was
not
among
the
first
list
of
performers
for
Grammys
2022
and
was
planned
later.
The
first
round
of
Grammy
performers
was
announced
last
week,
including
nominees
BTS,
Olivia
Rodrigo,
Billie
Eilish,
Lil
Nas
X
with
Jack
Harlow,
Brandi
Carlile,
and
Brothers
Osborne.

The
64th
Annual
Grammy
Awards
will
take
place
at
the
MGM
Grand
Arena
in
Las
Vegas
on
April
3.
