(FILES) Kanye West attends the 2020 Vanity Fair Oscar Party following the 92nd annual Oscars at The Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts in Beverly Hills on February 9, 2020. One of the promoters of an annual London music festival on April 6, 2026 defended plans for Kanye West to headline it, amid a backlash over the US rapper's previous antisemitic outbursts. Disgraced 48-year-old hip-hop star West -- now known as Ye -- is due to play three nights at the Wireless Festival in the British capital in July as part of a European comeback tour.
