But, according to Bournemouth Echo, the Cherries have scrapped the music.

It comes after fans expressed concerns over West’s comments.

The rapper and fashion designer made a string of antisemitic comments and used a slogan associated with white supremacists that garnered him widespread criticism.

Adidas, Balenciaga and Gap also cut ties with him, and he lost his status as a billionaire.

West has dominated headlines of late, starting with his decision to wear a “White Lives Matter” T-shirt to a fashion show earlier this month.

Then on October 7, West took to Instagram to post: “Ima use you as an example to show the Jewish people that told you to call me that no one can threaten or influence me.”

This was followed a matter of days later by a tweet that read: “I’m a bit sleepy tonight but when I wake up I’m going death con [sic] 3 On JEWISH PEOPLE.”

Twitter subsequently locked West’s account and deleted his tweet as it violated their policies.



The rapper’s ex-wife, Kim Kardashian, slammed West’s comments, taking to Instagram to post: “Hate speech is never OK or excusable.

“I stand together with the Jewish community and call on the terrible violence and hateful rhetoric towards them to come to an immediate end.”
