Ye, previously known as Kanye West, faces a ban from entering Australia due to the release of his song "Heil Hitler," which contains antisemitic content. Australia's home affairs minister Tony Burke confirmed the cancellation of his visa around the time the song was released. The song was widely condemned for its racial epithets and has since been banned on most streaming platforms. Ye's recent behavior and comments have sparked concern among former colleagues, including John Legend, who expressed sadness over Ye’s transformation into a figure of hate.
"If someone argued that antisemitism was rational, I would not let them come here," Burke said. "[Ye] has been coming to Australia for a long time ... and he's made a lot of offensive comments."
"It never affects me personally, but just the whole story is sad. Like, seeing this guy praise Hitler, seeing this guy be this force of hate and just vitriol and nastiness," Legend said during an appearance on New York's Hot 97 radio show.
