San Antonio Mayor Gina Ortiz Jones has expressed her concerns about the Alamodome hosting a Ye concert next month. The Grammy Award-winning rapper, Ye — formerly known as Kanye West — has been involved in multiple controversial moments throughout his two-decade career.
Mayor’s Statement
Mayor Jones made it clear she dislikes the idea of a city-funded stadium being used for his concert. “I support canceling the Ye concert,” Jones said on X. “Military City USA should not host someone with a record of hate speech and antisemitic comments in a city-funded facility like our Alamodome—not ever, and certainly not on July 4th, our Nation’s 250th birthday.”
Ye was recently barred from entering the United Kingdom where he was scheduled to headline the Wireless Festival in July, after a backlash over Ye’s history of antisemitic remarks.
