The former Atlanta city councilwoman who organized "Kanye West Day" is distancing herself from him. In view of his recent contentious words, she says she would not grant the distinction now. It's such a waste of a gret honor, considering the day was made in recognition of all the great, nice things Kanye achieved in Atlanta.
Natalyn Archibong was a member of the Atlanta City Council last year when she introduced a proclamation honoring Ye, who was born in Atlanta, with his own day.
However, she is now bidding him "a shocked and disgusted farewell" due to his recent comments about George Floyd's death and anti-Semitic Tweets.
TMZ revealed that after Kanye West kicked off his Donda tour in Atlanta on July 22, 2021, the city dubbed that date "Kanye West Day." Natalyn, who was the driving force behind the pronouncement, asserts that it was a one-time event that cannot be replicated.
According to her, there were four primary reasons for honoring Kanye with his own day. She says that Ye's Donda tour began in Atlanta, that he was born in Atlanta, and that his mother, Donda West, attended the Atlanta-based HBCU Morris Brown College.
Natalyn concluded that the declaration was a recognition of his significant contribution to the arts.
However, since then, Kanye has stirred up a great deal of controversy, and Natalyn explains that the July 2021 proclamation did not anticipate that in 2022, the artist formerly known as Kanye West would brazenly make such offensive words.
In conclusion, Natalyn... "To Ye I say nay."
However, Kanye seems unfazed by anything. Not even with all of the cancellations and opposition. The parent business of the social media app Parler, Parlement Technologies, announced on Monday that it will be acquired by Kanye West, who legally changed his name to Ye last year.
The app Parler, which is popular among conservatives, expects the transaction to finalize in the fourth quarter of 2022. It did not give a deal value. As part of a reorganization, Parler launched a new parent company, Parlement Technologies Inc, last month. West discontinued its agreement with garment retailer Gap Inc last month, citing failure to fulfill contractual duties.
