first provided to Andscape, Maverick Carter, CEO of “The Shop” production company Springhill Entertainment, confirmed West was invited to appear on the show after his recent outbursts of antisemitic and bigoted public statements.Carter said he believed West “was capable of a respectful discussion and he was ready to address” his recent comments. He also apologized for making that mistake.“Yesterday we taped an episode of The Shop with Kanye West. Kanye was booked weeks ago and, after talking to Kanye directly the day before we taped, I believed he was capable of a respectful discussion and he was ready to address all his recent comments. Unfortunately, he used The Shop to reiterate more hate speech and extremely dangerous stereotypes,” Carter said.“We have made the decision not to air this episode or any of Kanye’s remarks. While The Shop embraces thoughtful discourse and differing opinions, we have zero tolerance for hate speech of any kind and will never allow our channels to be used to promote hate.
The Weeknd Finally Brings His ‘After Hours Til Dawn’ Stadium Concert to Toronto
23.09.2022 - 21:19 / variety.com
Karen Bliss Look what he’s done, indeed. The Weeknd finally brought his stadium tour home to Toronto on Thursday night for the first of two dates at the 45,000-capacity Rogers Centre — more than two months after a bizarre country-wide wireless outage caused the postponement of the show’s originally scheduled date, leaving the artist “crushed and heartbroken.” The magnitude of the belated moment was not lost on the man also known as Abel Tesfaye, who paused several times to soak it in with a megawatt smile, blowing kisses to the crowd. “Toronto, look what you’ve fuckin’ done,” he said from his sprawling stage set, which includes a miniature version of the Toronto skyline, as the real one towered behind him.
“You just reminded me why the fuck I do this. I’m gonna keep fighting for you guys. I want to do this for the rest of my life. I want to do this with you. “My first show in Toronto — my first show ever — was Mod Club in 2011 … and now we’re doing the SkyDome, [two shows] back to back,” he continued, referring to the stadium’s original name. “We’re going to go all night. They’re going to have to pull me off the stage tonight.” While that didn’t happen — and there were no surprise appearances from, say, ubiquitous local heroDrake, who posted a video of himself, shortly before the originally scheduled Toronto date in July, remembering seeing the Weeknd for the first time at that Mod Club show — with 29 songs over 105 minutes and two elaborate stages, few could have been disappointed. The setlist was the same as previous dates on this tour, centered heavily on his two most recent albums, 2022’s Dawn FM and 2020’s After Hours — plus “oldies” like “Often,” “Can’t Feel My Face,” “The Hills,” “Kiss Land” and “Starboy.” And
