A bipartisan alliance made up of Florida political leaders and Jewish community organizations launched a campaign to demand the immediate cancellation of the concerts that the American rapper Kanye West, known as “Ye”, has scheduled in the city of Tampa.

The institutional mobilization arises as a direct response to the persistent history of anti-Semitic statements, praise for figures of fascism and the continuous rhetoric of intolerance propagated by the artist in recent years.

This claim in the United States is not an isolated event, but is supported by a strong context of international rejection. Recently, the rapper's European tour has fallen apart consecutively due to the institutional veto.

The UK Government formally banned the rapper from entering the country citing public welfare reasons, forcing the cancellation of his shows in London.

This drastic measure of state exclusion triggered a domino effect on the continent, causing the total suspension of their scheduled concerts in Poland, France and Switzerland, where both government authorities and stadium owners terminated contracts to avoid serving as a showcase for hatred and the exaltation of Nazism.

Detractors of his presentations in Florida focus their complaints on the use of Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, a venue managed by local agencies and financed with taxpayer money.

The legislators argue that the State should not profit or provide public infrastructure to a figure formally banned in multiple European democracies.

Although the Florida Holocaust Museum has supported citizen outrage, the stadium administration has indicated that the concerts remain scheduled, which keeps the debate on the ethical limits of entertainment in today's society in suspense.
