Kanye West fans across Europe got their dreams crushed when Slovakia festival bosses pulled the plug on what they promised would be his only continental show. The Rubicon festival organizers blamed outside forces and planning disasters for axing the event just days before thousands expected to see the rapper perform. Protesters had launched a massive campaign against West appearing because of his recent Nazi-loving rants and anti-Jewish attacks. Media reports exposed that the concert venue remained nothing more than an uncut wheat field on Bratislava's outskirts. Local rap stars began fleeing the lineup while one of the two main organizers also bailed out.
West himself delivered the final blow by wiping his Instagram announcement about the Slovakia gig from his social media accounts. Festival bosses admitted defeat through their social channels, confessing they could not meet quality standards after artists and sponsors abandoned ship. The controversial musician has destroyed his mainstream career by posting hate-filled messages targeting Jewish people and declaring his allegiance to Nazi ideology. His song titled Heil Hitler celebrated Adolf Hitler and pushed major record labels to cut ties with the artist. West later backtracked by claiming he had finished with antisemitism and rereleased the track as Hallelujah with Christian themes replacing the Nazi references.
