Over 60,000 People Sign Petition to Axe Kanye West From Music Festival

Kanye West outspokenness has finally landed him in trouble as more than 61,000 English music fans have signed a petition to remove Kanye West from June’s Glastonbury Festival, saying his act does not square with the event’s legacy.The Change.org petitioner who began the any-Yeezy movement, Neil Lonsdale, called the “Bound 2″ rapper “an insult to music fans all over the world,” and not up to the festival’s standard.

“Kanye has been very outspoken on his views on music,” Lonsdale wrote. “He should listen to his own advice and pass his headline slot on to someone deserving.”

Apparently, many, many people agree, as the petition had 61,223 signatures toward a goal of 75,000 as of Thursday afternoon — a number expected to rise with many media outlets picking up on the move against the outspoken rap artist.
