According to reports, artist took the stage in Shanghai about 40 minutes late and faced a series of technical problems
Kanye West There is a mysterious show in Brazil scheduled for November 2025. But before bringing the controversies to the country, he continues to become negative news around the world.
After making prejudiced publications, defining yourself as a Nazi, selling t -shirts with a swastika and releasing a song titled “Heil Hitler”the artist had the visa canceled by Australian authorities and was prevented from entering the country.
In Slovakia, a petition calls for the cancellation of his show on Rubicon Festivalstating that his presence “glorifies a dark period of history and disrespects the victims of the Nazi regime.”
In China, the show happened. But, by the smallest according to the fans’ report, maybe it was better than West had not kept the agenda. This is because the public started a choir asking for a refund during the presentation in Shanghai this Saturday, 12.
According to the The Global Times, YE He took the stage over 40 minutes late and, during the wait, some of the 70,000 gifts shouted asking for the money back. When the artist finally appeared, he had technical problems, with the DJ being forced to restart several songs. Rain during the presentation can be one of the causes.
The artist’s performance was minimalist, with little lighting or gadgets on stage. In addition, there were low sound quality reports. Amid so many problems, the show became one of the most spoken subjects of Chinese social networks. One of the fans even claimed that I had never seen such a “poorly organized” presentation.

In Brazil, the show is also the target of authorities. A bill in São Paulo seeks to make him “persona non grata” at the municipal level. Thus, the artist will be classified as someone “unwanted” and there will be diplomatic effects, but not necessarily prevent the musician from entering Brazil or the city.
