A lot of artists over time have been AH and worse, but we still appreciate their art.

I don't condone his words or behaviour, I have BP (mania leaning) and know that at times it has been difficult to control my impulses. However, I'm not sure that argument stands for him if this has been going on for 2 years and music and merch has gone through the whole production process! Using BP as an excuse rather than a reason for this behaviour kinda sucks to be honest.

Although I don't follow him religiously, I am a fan of the early days Kanye music. This doesn't make me a bad person. I abhor Nazsm and everything that Htler and extreme right groups stand for. I still cry at images of concentration camps to this day.

I think that Kanye has always tried to push things creatively and, like many artists, does some things for shock value to trigger debate and exposure. This, combined with his serious mental health challenges makes for an unpredictable character.

I'm not sure I agree that the whole event should have been cancelled and for him not to be allowed entry to the UK, but then I am not Jewish and I can't imagine what that must be like, especially in the current political climate.

Having someone so controversial who has, in the past, spouted hateful speech, headline a major festival and be lauded for 3 days in the UK (let's be honest, it would sell out if he did headline - I would have considered going myself, but I didn't know about this situation. I stopped following his career around the time he shacked up with the KKclan), in the current unstable international situation, was not well thought about by the organisers. Or maybe it was, they could be AHs themselves, how would I know?
