Senators demand Tampa cancel Kanye West concerts, but show will go on
Kanye West is performing in Tampa despite calls from Florida senators and Holocaust survivors to cancel the shows.
Rapper Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, is scheduled to perform at Raymond James Stadium on June 26 and 28, drawing an expected 75,000 fans each night. He's also drawing some of Florida's most prominent political figures, who gathered Monday at the Florida Holocaust Museum in St. Petersburg to demand that Tampa Sports Authority cancel both concerts.
Republican Sens. Rick Scott and Ashley Moody, civil rights attorney Leo Terrell and Democrat Charlie Crist stood together behind a podium reading "Don't. Fund. Antisemitism."
