Word of Kanye, 46, planning a secret concert has sparked outrage among war veterans who were justifiably offended by the rapper’s praise for Adolf Hitler, reports the Daily Mail.
The outlet revealed that a set is being built at the RCF Arena near Reggio Emilia, about 60 miles west of Bologna.
The RCF Arena is the largest outdoor venue in Europe.
Sources claimed that the concert could take place as early as this upcoming weekend with the possibility of 80,000 concert-goers expected to attend the live performance much to the dismay of local veterans’ groups.
The organizations represent former partisans who battled against the Nazis, Hitler, and Italian fascist dictator Benito Mussolini during WWII.
The groups slammed the concert and Kanye himself, citing his professed admiration of Hitler and the Nazis.
They asserted that Kanye’s “political ideas are unacceptable.”
During a 2022 interview with Alex Jones on his InfoWars talk show, Kanye claimed: “Every human being has something of value they brought to the table, especially Hitler.”
The Can’t Tell Me Nothing rapper stated: “I love Jewish people, but I also love Nazis. There’s a lot of things that I love about Hitler, a lot of things, I like Hitler… I am a Nazi.”
The vice president of the National Association of Italian Partisans (ANPI) Albertina Soliani argued: “It’s time to say enough to these people who believe they can say what they want.
“Someone can be a fantastic singer but then they are also judged by what they say, and West has made some inhumane declarations and with what’s happening in the world today we cannot accept this concert.”
Ermete Fiaccadori, the ANPI regional president for Reggio Emilia, remarked: “First of all let me just say that I hope this concert does not go ahead, this artist has a large following of youngsters, but his message is disquieting.
“I’m speechless that he cannot understand what he Is saying, broadcasting a gross misunderstanding of what Adolf Hitler was in the course of history.”
The regional president continued: “As an organization, we condemn this concert totally and we are very concerned about what message it conveys.”
FAMILY VALUES
Bianca’s Italian family has spoken out after being “snubbed” by the star while she’s in Europe.
Bianca and Kanye have spent much of the summer touring Italy but didn’t stop by to see her family.
Bianca’s relatives were well aware that she was nearby after she graced headlines for her controversial outfits and NSFW public acts.
Her cousin, Fabiola Censori, said: “We haven’t seen anything of Bianca’s family here for years,” according to the Daily Mail.
She added: “I’ve never met Bianca but I would love to – it was a shame she didn’t come and visit us when she was here in Italy on holiday.
“We could have shown her where her dad and his brothers and sisters and her grandparents grew up.
“Her dad came here years ago and we had a beautiful evening together with all the family and it was wonderful to see him but as for Bianca and Kanye no comment. We feel a bit ignored.”
Another relative, who gave their name as Andrea, agreed: “I’ve never met Bianca but I’m hoping that next time she is in Italy she will come and visit us.
“I’ve heard all about her from other relatives and she sounds good fun – I imagine an evening out with her and Kanye would be very interesting.”
This isn’t the first time that Bianca’s loves ones have accused her of spurning them in favor of her husband.
An insider claimed that Bianca’s loved ones have been desperately trying to reach out to her, but she reportedly told concerned pals to leave her alone when they finally managed to contact her and wasn’t interested in talking about her relationship with Kanye.
A source said: “She’s shut everyone out and told one of her former friends to ‘f**k off’ when they tried to ask if she was OK. She is saying that her friends are just jealous of her stardom.
“Bianca knows how to grab headlines now and she loves being Kanye’s muse because it gives her what she has always wanted – fame.”
The insider added: “Her friends are done trying because she is a thirsty lost cause.”
KANYE’S RULES
Kanye and Bianca officially got married in December 2022, just one month after his divorce from Kim Kardashian, 42, was finalized.
However, in worrying new claims, a source suggested that Kanye is very controlling of his new wife.
The insider said: “Kanye has a set of rules for Bianca, which includes never speak and wear what he wants her to wear.
“She is also required to eat certain food items and to work out even though Kanye doesn’t work out.”
They concluded: “She has no mind of her own anymore and obeys him because he has convinced her that they are royal.”
Amid the reports that Bianca is turning her back on her family and friends, fans think that she might be growing her own family with Kanye.
Over the last few weeks, some fans have theorized that Bianca might be pregnant with Kanye’s baby.
In August, she wore a completely see-through bra top that seemed to have been crafted from a pair of tights, with her breasts on full display.
She added a pair of shiny tights in place of pants and went underwear-free beneath the thin fabric.
Tellingly, at several points during the couple’s walk, Bianca placed her hand on her stomach, seeming to hold her belly as she paced the streets.
Soon after, while in Milan, the architect wore a similarly body-baring outfit, but held a purple pillow over her torso as she was photographed leaving a restaurant.
