San Antonio mayor calls for Kanye West concert to be cancelled.
Jun 22, 2026
The rapper, also known as Ye, is currently scheduled to perform at the city-funded venue on US Independence Day, 4 July, as part of his ongoing comeback tour. San Antonio Mayor Gina Ortiz Jones has called for a cancellation of the show, citing West's history of anti-Semitic comments and hate speech. "I support cancelling the @kanyewest concert," Jones wrote on X. "Military City USA should not host someone with a record of hate speech and antisemitic comments in a city-funded facility like our Alamodome - not ever, and certainly not on July 4th, our Nation's 250th birthday."
