Kanye West Just Landed His First Gig Following His Apology For Antisemitic Remarks

Over the past several years, Kanye West – whose legal name is now Ye – has been ensnared in controversies related to comments he’s made. The 48-year-old has specifically drawn backlash due to inflammatory sentiments he’s shared about the Jewish community. Earlier this year, however, West shared a lengthy apology for his antisemitic statements and suggested that he’d been working on himself. In the aftermath of that appeal, it seems the music maven has now lined up a big gig.

The “Vultures” performer is reportedly returning to Europe to headline a concert this coming summer. According to The Independent, Ye is performing in the Netherlands on June 6 at the Vitesse Arnhem’s Gelredome football stadium. Those organizing the event have since billed this as Ye’s first European concert in a decade. However, it’s also worth noting that the rapper actually performed at the 2015 edition of the Glastonbury Festival, and he also performed alongside the Sunday Service Collective in Paris.
