Kanye West has been making headlines all week after he ended a show early in Sacramento following one of his many rants. Things became more serious when news broke that he was hospitalized on Monday.
According to Billboard, one Sacramento radio station is not too fond of Kanye after his rant during his show at the Golden 1 Center in Sacramento.
Sacramento’s KHHM Hot 103.5 made the announcement that they would not be playing Kanye’s music for a very long time. The station took offense when Kanye let down the many fans in their city, and most of all when he insulted radio with his comments during his rant.
The stations manager Justin “JayMarzz” Marshall said, “Everybody came out to have a great time Saturday night. A lot of fans in the building, a lot of people had spent a lot of hard earned money, bro, a lot of hard earned time.”
He continued, “You’re going to go into Sacramento and say ‘F radio,’ really bro? Really? You’re the same guy 15 years ago that was begging radio to play you. And they did and they gave you a shot. Without radio you didn’t blow up to be the artist that you were. That you were, because you’re no longer that artist anymore.”
The broadcast came before news broke that Kanye was hospitalized, but Marshall said that the radio station’s ban has gotten a “95 percent positive” reaction.
He said to Billboard, “First and foremost, basically hurting the fan base in Sacramento who took a lot of time and effort to go see the man perform and then a lot of anger that night due to the fact of him walking off stage,” said Marshall.
He continued, “Then two, when you talk bad about an industry that’s supported you for so long, it’s kind of like, ‘Why should we continue to support someone that clearly feels this way about our industry and what we do?”
Marshall sent his well wishes to Kanye, but still is upset about his behavior. “I hope and I want Kanye to get better and fix those issues so he can get back to a better place and come back out and perform, because that’s what people want to see at the end of the day,” he said. “But I still do not feel what he did to Sacramento was right, regardless.”
