People reported that Kanye West's representative confirmed the information that the male singer was banned from performing at this year's Grammy Awards.
The decision to prevent the 44-year-old rapper from being on stage at the awards ceremony was made due to West's "complaining behavior on social media" in recent days.
According to Blast, West's latest online "talks" related to Trevor Noah - Grammy's host this year - are an important factor in the organizers' ban on Kanye West performing, despite him having 5 nominations.
Specifically, Kim Kardashian's ex-husband attacked Trevor Noah on Instagram after the 38-year-old MC spoke up to defend Kim, claiming that Kanye was too combative and was harassing his ex-wife on The Daily Show.
After that, West's account was blocked for 24 hours. A spokesperson for the social media platform told TMZ that recently, Kanye West has continuously violated Instagram's policies by making hateful statements, harassing and bullying others.
