Petition to remove Kanye West from Coachella festival lineup reaches 35k signatures 

Ye who was formerly known as Kanye West has been making a lot of waves on social media over constant harassment and bullying of his ex-wife’s boyfriend, Pete Davidson. 

Pete Davidson, who Ye calls Skete, took the high road and confronted the American Rapper in a leaked series of text messages, where he also advises the rapper to get some professional help. 

The rapper has however gone further to not just harass and bully Pete Davidson, but three other comedians, even going as far as calling South African comedian Trevor Noah a racial slur, which ultimately earned him a 24-hour ban on Instagram for violating their user policies. 

Following the Instagram ban was a ban on him performing at the Grammys due to his “disturbing online behavior“.

Amidst his incessant attacks at ‘Skete’, Ye released an animated music video on March 11 where a skinned monkey is attacking Pete Davidson, buried alive and at the same time decapitated. 

A petition on change.org to remove Ye from the Coachella Lineup which hie is to headline in April, has garners as many as 35k signatures already and keeps increasing. 

Carmelo Marie who started this petition wrote that nobody is willing to stand up to Kanye because anyone who does gets attacked too. 

Her petition post reads “We have watched Kanye harass, manipulate, and hurt Kim, Pete, and others for over a year now.”

“No one seems to want to stand up to him, and the ones that do, he puts under fire as well. Most recently, he has been threatening actual bodily harm on others.”

“This is ridiculous that he is allowed to freely do this. Coachella (along with other brand names that are still working with him) should be ashamed of themselves and should not be giving him any more of a platform. Please sign & share!”

Coachella has not released a statement yet, but the aim of this petition is to get as many as 50k votes.
