Kanye West has been very vocal on social media about his separation from Kim Kardashian. He has gone out writing about several things including Kim’s relationship with Pete Davidson, and also claims about how he is not being allowed to meet his children. Kanye, who goes by the moniker, Ye, has made several accusations against Kim and her family. He was recently suspended for 24 hours from Instagram for attacking Kim, Pete and Trever Noah. And now, he is facing another issue caused because of his social media posts.

If reports are to be believed, Kanye West has been barred from performing at the Awards night because of his online behaviour. According to a report, Ye’s representative reportedly received a call informing them that he has been removed from the line-up of artists.

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West are fighting a legal battle for the custody of their children. Amidst this, the organisers are reportedly concerned that Kanye may use the stage to impact the public sentiment in his favour for the custody case and could also continue the online harassment of Kim’s boyfriend Pete Davidson.

However, one of the key possible reasons is that the organisers feel there may be a chance of an interaction between Grammy host Trevor Noah and Kanye West; the latter had recently used a slur for Noah in an Instagram post.
