Kanye West makes first performance since his vile anti-Semitism scandal as he takes the stage with Travis Scott in Rome

Kanye West has made his first public performance since his vile anti-Semitism scandal last year. 

The controversial rapper, 46, performed with Travis Scott at the Sicko Mode rapper’s Utopia concert in Rome on Monday. 

‘Only one human being on this mother f****** planet that has ever walked side by side with me through anything and every mother f****** thing,’ Scott, 32, said before bringing West on stage, according to TMZ.

According to Pitchfork, Scott, 32, also told the crowd: ‘There is no Utopia without Kanye West. There is no Travis Scott without Kanye West. There is no Rome without Kanye West. Make some noise for Ye.’

The outlets reported that the duo performed the tracks Praise God and Can’t Tell Me Nothing.

Both of the men have ties to the Kardashian family – West shares four children with ex-wife Kim Kardashian, while Scott has two kids with ex-girlfriend Kylie Jenner.  

Ye last year was banned from Twitter, denounced by celebrities, and lost a series of lucrative sponsorship deals after he made a variety of anti-Semitic statements.

Gap, Balenciaga, his representatives at CAA, Foot Locker and Adidas all cut ties with him.

However, the demand for some of his Yeezy products has remained steady.

Adidas reported it had sole more than $425 million worth of the inventory it still had in stock between April and June of this year, according to BBC News.

Some of the proceeds are supposed to go to charities that fight hate, such as the Foundation to Combat Anti-Semitism and the Anti-Defamation League.

Adidas reported having about $1.3 billion worth of Yeezy stock sitting in storage after the company’s relationship with Kanye ended.

An executive at the shoemaker argued it was better to sell the inventory than to destroy it.

Adidas will continue to sell off its remaining inventory.

Scott is also no stranger to controversy. 

In 2021, 10 concert goers were crushed to death and thousands were injured as the rapper performed at his Astroworld music festival.

A grand jury in June declined to recommend any charges in the incident in which 10 people were killed and hundreds more were injured.

He still faces lawsuits from the families of those who died, as well as dozens of others from people who were injured. Several families of the victims have since settled with Scott.
