这位曾用名坎耶·韦斯特的说唱歌手因过往反犹言论引发众怒，被禁止进入英国，这引发了外界对其今夏即将在意大利举办的演出的质疑。
这位已改名为叶（Ye）的说唱歌手原定于7月在伦敦无线音乐节担任主舞台表演嘉宾，但英国政府于周二撤销了其入境许可，该音乐节也随之取消。
“坎耶·韦斯特本就不该受邀担任无线音乐节的主咖，”英国首相基尔·斯塔默在社交媒体发布的声明中说道。
此前，叶去年发布一首名为《 Heil Hitler》的歌曲，并在其官网售卖带有纳粹卐字标志的T恤，引发广泛批评。今年1月，他在《华尔街日报》刊登整版广告致歉，称自己曾经历为期四个月的躁狂发作，“毁了我的生活”。
在意大利北部，叶将于7月18日担任当地核心音乐节Hellwatt音乐节的主舞台表演嘉宾。
该音乐节举办地艾米利亚-罗马涅大区的民众已向一个大型劳工联盟表达了对叶受邀演出的担忧。
“我们正倾听近期众多联系我们的工人和市民的诉求，希望此事能得到明确回应，”艾米利亚-罗马涅地区意大利工会联合会代表罗莎玛丽亚·帕帕莱奥对哥伦比亚广播社说道。
帕帕莱奥表示，民众的担忧主要集中在：雷焦艾米利亚作为大区首府，有着强烈的反法西斯身份认同，却要接待一位因反犹言论引发争议的艺人。
“一位以反犹言论闻名的艺人能在我们城市演出，这看起来相当矛盾，而我们城市一直坚定倡导反法西斯价值观，”帕帕莱奥说道。
雷焦艾米利亚于1950年被授予军事金质奖章，因其在二战意大利抵抗纳粹运动中发挥了关键作用。
“对我们而言，反法西斯不是一时兴起，而是植根于我们历史的价值观，”帕帕莱奥说。她强调，尽管工会无意干扰这场对工人和乐迷而言都意义重大的音乐节，但他们期望艺术家能在社区内传播积极价值观。
工会代表已要求雷焦艾米利亚市长马可·马萨里要求叶与当地犹太社区成员会面，以象征性地为其过往言论造成的伤害进行和解。一些批评者呼吁将叶从音乐节阵容中移除。
马萨里在一份声明中表示，他“与坎耶·韦斯特的行为和言论划清界限”，但补充道，有关该艺人入境意大利的最终决定权在于国家政府。哥伦比亚广播社已就此事联系意大利内政部置评。
这位市长还强调，雷焦艾米利亚是一个坚定的反法西斯城市，在此演出的艺人必须顾及当地的社会和历史背景。他呼吁音乐节主办方为这位艺术家与认同这些价值观的当地社区搭建对话平台。
Hellwatt音乐节总监维克多·亚里·米拉尼承认，叶的过往行为“理所当然地引发了强烈反响”。
“我们想强调的是，他已正式致歉，称自己既不是纳粹分子也不是反犹主义者，并且他患有双相情感障碍，”他在给哥伦比亚广播社的声明中说道。他还补充道：“我们已要求他向意大利致歉。音乐节的价值观——尊重与包容——不容商榷。”
目前，围绕叶的演出尚无抗议计划。不过工会官员警告称，公众仍有可能发起抗议活动。
今年该音乐节的其他重磅参演艺人还包括特拉维斯·斯科特、瑞塔·奥拉和马丁·盖瑞斯。
Kanye West’s upcoming gig at Italy festival sparks debate after U.K. revoked rapper’s entry over antisemitic remarks

The rapper formerly known as Kanye West being denied entry into the U.K. amid an uproar over his past antisemitic remarks has raised questions over the star’s upcoming performance in Italy this summer.
The rapper, who changed his name to Ye, was scheduled to headline the Wireless Festival in London in July, but the event was canceled after the U.K. government withdrew his authorization to enter the country on Tuesday.
“Kanye West should never have been invited to headline Wireless,” U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer said in a statement posted to social media.
The decision was preceded by criticism over Ye releasing a song last year called “Heil Hitler” and selling T-shirts on his website featuring a swastika. In January, he apologized in a full-page ad in the Wall Street Journal and said he experienced a four-month-long manic episode that “destroyed my life.”
In northern Italy, Ye is set to headline the region’s main music event, the Hellwatt Festival, on July 18.
People in the Emilia-Romagna region where the festival is being held have raised concerns to a major labor union about Ye’s scheduled performance.
“We are listening to the many workers and citizens who have contacted us in recent days, asking for clarity on the matter,” Rosamaria Papaleo, a representative of the Italian Confederation of Workers’ Unions in Emilia-Romagna, told CBS News.

Papaleo said the concerns have centered on hosting an artist associated with antisemitic remarks in Reggio Emilia, the regional capital, which has a strong anti-fascist identity.

“It seems quite contradictory that an artist known for his antisemitic remarks can be hosted by our city, which has always strongly advocated anti-fascist values,” said Papaleo.
Reggio Emilia was awarded the Gold Medal for Military Valor in 1950 for its key role in the Italian resistance against the Nazis during World War II.
“Anti-fascism for us is not a whim, but a value rooted in our history,” Papaleo said. She emphasized that while the union does not intend to disrupt the festival, which represents an important event for workers and fans, it expects artists to promote positive values within the community.
Union representatives have asked Reggio Emilia’s mayor, Marco Massari, to require Ye to meet with members of the local Jewish community as a symbolic act of reconciliation for harm caused by his past remarks. Some critics have called for Ye to be removed from the festival’s lineup.
In a statement, Massari said he “distances himself from Kanye West’s behavior and remarks,” but added that any decision regarding the artist’s entry into the country ultimately lies with the national government. CBS News has reached out to the Italian Ministry of Internal Affairs for comment.
The mayor also stressed that Reggio Emilia is a strongly anti-fascist city, and that those who perform there must be mindful of its social and historical context. He called on festival organizers to create an occasion for dialogue between the artist and local communities that identify with those values.
Hellwatt Festival director Victor Yari Milani recognized that Ye’s past actions have “understandably led to strong reactions.”
“We want to stress that he has formally apologized, stating that he is neither a Nazi nor antisemitic, and that he suffers from bipolar disorder,” he said in a statement to CBS News. He also said, “We have asked him to also apologize to Italy. The festival’s values — respect and inclusion — are not up for debate.”
For now, no protests are planned around Ye’s performance. However, union officials warned that public reaction remains a possibility.
Other major artists expected at the event this year include Travis Scott, Rita Ora and Martin Garrix.
