The controversial rapper is running out of places to try
KANYE West has received yet another damaging knockback in the desperate search to find venues to host his shows.
The U.S. Sun revealed last week that the controversial rapper was told to forget about playing in Europe, Australia, Asia, and the Middle East, with promoters claiming no one wants to risk their credibility by giving him a platform.

Kanye, however, has kept on asking the questions in other regions of the world – and has received the same answer.
The U.S. Sun has spoken to a well-placed source working in South America who claims there is “absolutely no chance” of him performing in Brazil.
Kanye’s recent wild online rant about Jesus and Hitler has made the 46-year-old virtually untouchable while a steady stream of risque pictures of his wife Bianca Censori have made promoters and organizers move even further from any talks over possible gigs.
The music star, who now goes by Ye, hoped to replicate the Rolling Stones who famously played an iconic show in 2006 on Rio’s Copacabana beach, where over 1 million fans came to pay homage.
FIRM REFUSAL
But The U.S. Sun understands the request was greeted with a firm refusal – because of his image and for security reasons.
A source who works for the government in Rio said it was “obvious” these plans would be rejected immediately.
“The image of Kanye is way too controversial,” said the insider.
“Nobody wants to be linked with him and his recent controversies.”
The legendary Maracana Stadium and the Nilton Santos Olympic Stadium, home of the Botafogo soccer team, were also reportedly approached, but both venues rejected the requests.
It was a similar story in Sao Paulo, Salvador, and Belo Horizonte.
Promoters and local governance in those cities were also “put off” by the controversies surrounding Ye, whose new album Vultures 1, has soared to the top of the charts since its release earlier this year.
His first Billboard Hot 100 top slot since 2011, however, isn’t enough to change current perceptions.
“Nobody wants to be linked with him,” said a music business consultant for venues and tours in South America.
“No local government or people that manage the stadiums and the venues for concerts or cultural events want to have Kanye come to their city.
“It’s just too much to handle. The answer will always be no.”
The U.S. Sun contacted Ye’s representative but didn’t hear back.
The news comes after Bianca Censori’s mother apparently changed her opinion on her daughter marrying Kanye.
The U.S. Sun has obtained exclusive photos of Alexandra Censori walking with the rapper and her daughter after initially seeming to disapprove of their union.
ALL SMILES
Alexandra looked to be all smiles as she exited a private jet in Los Angeles, California, next to Kanye, 46.
The get-together was a vast departure from her mom’s reported earlier opinion of the Vultures rapper.
Nobody wants to be linked with him.

Last month, after Bianca was seen in another see-through outfit, her mom was said to be “distressed.”
Insiders told the Daily Mail her parents couldn’t even recognize their daughter anymore.
“Her family and friends are mortified because it just keeps getting worse and worse,” the source confessed.
