Kanye West’s “bigoted rants” linked to 30 anti-semitic incidents in US, say Anti-Defamation League

Kanye West‘s lawsuit against an Australian burger bar has been dismissed in Federal Court.The rapper filed the suit last October, claiming Victoria burger joint College Dropout Burgers and its owner Mark Elkhouri were using the name of his 2004 album debut, ‘The College Dropout’, without his permission.West also alleged that the branding constituted misleading and deceptive conduct, and that the bar was attempting to profit by false association with the star and his brand.As the Herald Sun reports, Ye’s case was thrown out by the Federal Court of Australia in Melbourne today (March 3). Elkhouri’s lawyers told the court that West had failed to respond to them on multiple occasions, and had “no genuine interest in this proceeding”.Lawyer Craig Smith sought to have the suit dismissed on three grounds related to non-compliance with court procedures.Justice Shaun McElwaine agreed with Smith, saying that West had “commenced proceedings with all guns blazing” only not to take a “step thereafter”.The court heard that the ‘Donda’ artist’s initial legal team had withdrawn from the case.

Rogers Waters show in Frankfurt, Germany has been cancelled after the city council described the Pink Floyd musician as “one of the world’s most widely-known antisemites”.The gig was due to be held on May 28 at Festhalle in Frankfurt, a publicly owned venue. However the municipal government announced that the gig would be cancelled over the musician’s views on Israel.According to Israeli newspaper Haaretz, the cancellation notice cited Waters’ boycott of Israel – also known as the BDS campaign – talks with Hamas-affiliated media, comparisons of Israel to apartheid South Africa and anti-semitic imagery at shows.It also referenced the sensitivity surrounding the venue, which was used as a detention centre for some 3000 Jewish people before being deported to concentration camps in 1938.Waters has not yet officially commented on the cancellation, but he re-shared a TikTok video of US-Palestinian journalist Ramzy Baroud who defended the musician as an “anti-racist”.“Thanks Ramzy! You tell’em my brother,” Waters said, with three Palestinian flag emojis and a dove.

We’ve been on a huge Matty Healy kick lately.

The lawyers who were working for Kanye West on a copyright case in relation to the ‘Donda 2’ track ‘Flowers’ have finally formally dropped the rapper as a client. Completing those formalities took some time because West proved rather tricky to locate.Law firm Greenberg Traurig was one of the plethora of West’s business partners that sought to cut ties with the rapper last year once he started spouting ever more controversial and offensive statements.The judge overseeing the ‘Flowers’ copyright litigation granted Greenberg Traurig’s motion to withdraw from the case at the end of November, but also ordered the law firm to personally serve West with a ‘withdrawal order’ that stated it is no longer representing him in the case.Serving that paperwork proved to be a challenge, because West had changed his address and phone number, and all the representatives the lawyers use to talk to had likewise cut their ties with the musician.Last month the lawyers told the judge they were struggling to find West to serve the papers and asked if they could formally part company with the rapper through less conventional channels.
