US rapper and producer Kanye West performs on stage during a concert at the Ataturk Olympic Stadium in Istanbul as part of his tour "YE Live in Istanbul" on May 30, 2026. US rapper Kanye West, whose concerts have been banned in several European venues over controversial antisemitic remarks, performed in Istanbul on May 30. The 48-year-old, also known as "Ye", has sparked widespread anger over remarks glorifying Nazi leader Adolf Hitler and for antisemitic rants which he has blamed on having bipolar disorder. Around 120,000 fans were expected to attend the festival-style event in Istanbul, with the city laying on 100 free buses to get people home, CNN Turk reported.
