The reper should be performed at the Rubicon Festival in Bratislava, but the residents of the city are opposed. About 5 thousand people signed the petition.
In Slovakia, anger is growing due to Kanye West’s planned performance at the Rubicon Music Festival in Bratislava.
The public organizations and residents of the city contradict rapper’s participation, which created a petition to inhibit a concert. It has been signed by nearly 5 thousand people, reports The Guardian.
Those who set the petition accuse the west of the glory of violence, the decline of memory of history and anti -text statements. The festival itself announced the exclusive performance of “hip-hop visionary” in mid-July, calling the artist “controversial genius”.
