It was just announced this afternoon the “Fame Kills Tour” headlined by Kanye West and Lady GaGa has been canceled! This tour was expected to be one of the most successful tours of 2009. Although, no reason was cited for the cancellation, everyone seems to think that the recent negativity caused by Kanye West’s stunt at the MTV VMAs is the caused this tour to fall apart.
What Kanye West did was wrong, and he’s fessed up to his mistake but should Lady GaGa be punished for Kanye’s childish antics? Lady Gaga in her own right has been a non-stop hit-maker this year; unfortunately she aligned herself with the wrong person.
Let’s remember this is not the first time Kanye West has caused controversy at award shows. In the past he has said that George Bush ‘does not care about black people’.
He has also gotten on the stage before when he thought he should have been the recipient. Kanye has blamed his behavior on his mother’s untimely death; however, his mother was alive when most of these incidents occurred.
We appreciate the energy Kanye brings to music, he’s very talented. In the future we hope he will put his frustration into his music.
