Detroit Radio Station Refuses to Play Kanye West’s Music After Rapper’s Remarks about Slavery

Shortly after the aforementioned remarks, the internet “broke” and “#KanyeWest” trended on Twitter for several hours. Various Americans weighed in with either praise or condemnation.

However, Kanye’s remarks offended a Detriot-based radio station so much that they are now refusing to ever play his music. They went into great detail in the hereinafter statement:

“We feel like Kanye has gone too far with his latest statement declaring that ‘slavery was a choice.’ We are over it. We don’t want to hear Kanye’s music, we don’t want to play Kanye on our show, we don’t want to talk about Kanye anymore. So we are taking a stand and we aren’t playing his music anymore; we just are refusing to give him a platform.”

Criticisms Against Kanye West

Since the inception of the rapper’s friendly remarks about President Trump, many people have weighed in with criticism. Others have even suggested that Kanye is in the “sunken place,” a reference to the popular 2017 movie ‘Get Out.’

However, some Americans have pushed back against the condemnation of Kanye. Supporters have questioned why celebrities are seemingly demonized and discredited when they go against the apparent left-leaning, anti-Trump status quo.
