Kanye West, the famous rapper, suggested that he is facing difficulties in scheduling shows due to his previous antisemitic speeches, comparing his situation to that of Elvis Presley.

In a deleted video from his Instagram, West mentioned his financial difficulties after installing titanium dentures worth $850,000. He also claimed to have been banned from performing for a year, except at the United Center in Chicago, where he sold tickets in just seven minutes.

“I was not allowed to perform for a year. It’s like the Elvis Presley movie. […] We just packed the United Center in seven minutes, and I want to express to everyone that if there is anyone who can help with this. It’s the only arena I’ve had access to in the last year”

Despite the difficulties, his booking manager indicated an interest in international venues, such as Australia, Brazil, China, and Egypt.

West, who lives with bipolar disorder, sparked controversy in December when he spoke about Donald Trump, Jesus, and Adolf Hitler, and criticized the Zionist education of wealthy children at an event.
