The Trevor Noah Effect: Kanye West Pulled From Grammys’ Performance Lineup

American rapper, Kanye West, has been pulled from the Grammys performance lineup.

Kanye, 44, has come under fire for his repeated public outbursts aimed at his estranged wife Kim Kardashian and her new boyfriend Pete Davidson, as well as at other celebrities such as Trevor Noah, who have criticized his behavior.

This week Kanye was suspended from Instagram for 24 hours for his posts about Pete and Trevor, which are said to have violated the site’s harassment policy.

In an Instagram post he uploaded Friday evening, his friend, The Game, theorized that Kanye’s alleged removal from the Grammys ‘could be’ related to the fact Trevor is hosting.

He wrote: ‘When will all the BLACK entertainers, Athletes, Actors, Producers, Writers, Directors, Media etc… figure it out,

‘Time & time again they show us that they only want to STEAL the culture, not allow you to ever be their equals. In a more than obvious move for reasons of minuscule actions…,’ The Game wrote in his caption.

The Game, whose real name is Jayceon Taylor, wrote: ‘The Grammys have at the last minute decided to pull @kanyewest from performing on the show as if we didn’t know it was coming.’

He aired out his suspicion: ‘Could be because @trevornoah is hosting and there was a conversation held amongst his team & the academy that led to the decision or because Ye’s account was suspended just days ago for reasons unknown especially in a world where all the negativities of the world can be found on the same app with no repercussions or suspensions”.
