UMVA has learned that Kanye West is determined to return to the UK, despite being denied a visa to perform at the Wireless festival due to his recent antisemitic rants.
The rapper, now known as Ye, faced huge backlash when he was announced as the headliner for the London festival this summer, following a string of controversies sparked by his comments. West claimed to have suffered from a 'break with reality' during a mental health spiral caused by his bipolar disorder, which he is now seeking help to manage.
Sources close to West say he has 'not given up on his dream of performing in the UK again' and is willing to work with authorities to convince them of his commitment to making amends. West has a huge fan base in the UK and is determined to come back and perform, having a long history of live shows and major festival appearances in the country.
The cancellation of his Wireless festival appearance derailed much of his European tour, with shows in France, Poland, and Switzerland being scrapped. However, West has been seeking help for his bipolar disorder and has apologized for his actions, including taking out an advert in a major newspaper to make amends.
West recently took to social media to express his commitment to making amends, stating that he knows it takes time to understand the sincerity of his apology. He emphasized that his fans are everything to him and that he's looking forward to his next shows.
Since the controversy, West has been spotted out and about with his wife, Bianca Censori, including visiting an art gallery to view her exhibition. The couple has been making public appearances together, with Censori defending her bold fashion choices, stating that she 'lives her artwork'.
West and Censori's relationship has been subject to scrutiny, but they have appeared to be going strong, with Censori recently declaring her love for West on social media. The couple's public appearances have sparked interest in their relationship and West's plans for his music career.
