'Bouncing' Kanye

https://www.cnn.com/2018/05/03/entertainment/kanye-radio-boycott-begins-trnd/index.html

Well the Backlash on Kanye is also happening at Hot 97 in NYC

The hosts said their decision followed West's controversial statements about slavery, adding the hashtag #MuteKanye.
On Tuesday, West appeared at TMZ's headquarters, where he said: "When you hear about slavery for 400 years ... For 400 years? That sounds like a choice."
During the Thursday morning radio show, Shay Shay also called West "reckless" for saying icons like Martin Luther King, Jr. and Malcolm X are "too far in the past and not relatable."
The Detroit hip-hop station is not alone.
On Wednesday, New York City radio host Ebro Darden appeared on CNN Tonight with Don Lemon to discuss West's comments, where Lemon said the rapper "doesn't know history."
The next morning, Hot 97, where Darden's show airs, tweeted, "'The Kanye boycott has begun.'"
 
The 'Dixie Chicks' is an apt comparison. Their music probably shouldn't have been 'bounced' either. Listeners can make up their own minds. However, rather than insulting an individual, who also happened to be President of the United States, Mr. West did nothing but share an opinion. I would submit that his actions were far less offensive and inflammatory than those of the Dixie Chicks.
