Overview
- Seth Rogen’s Seth Goes Greek show at Los Angeles’ Greek Theatre, held Wednesday during Netflix Is a Joke, became a forum for sharp criticism of Ye’s attempted return.
- Rogen called out West’s track titled “Heil Hitler,” joked that even Hitler would be “torn” by it, and noted he faced heavier blowback for jokes than West did despite having no No. 1 albums.
- Jon Stewart followed by saying “f— that guy,” arguing he will not heed someone who talks about forgiving Hitler yet still feuds with comedian Pete Davidson.
- West has pushed a comeback with Bully, which debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 in March, and he staged two sold-out shows at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles in April.
- Institutions continue to balk at hosting him, with London’s Wireless Festival canceled after a U.K. visa denial, a France date postponed, a Poland show canceled, and an earlier suspension from X for posting swastikas.
