Controversial American rapper Kanye ‘Ye’ West had his first performance in Europe in more than decade over the weekend, playing to a stadium crowd of more than 100,000 fans in Turkey.
The gig on Saturday at Istanbul’s Atatürk Olympic Stadium was his first EU concert since 2014 and comes amid ongoing controversy that has seen several concerts cancelled – including in France, the UK, Poland and Switzerland.
The rapper is attempting a comeback of sorts, following backlash to his long history of antisemitic remarks.
