It is official… Kanye West might just possibly be the most HATED man in Hip-Hop! Glastonbury organizer Emily Eavis has been receiving loads of death treats after choosing Yeezy to headline the festival this year. In an interview with the Evening Standard, Eavis explains the type of turmoil she’s been experiencing since her decision went public. “I had death threats and stuff. It was just horrible. It was just crazy. It was getting out of control. We had Time magazine, all the American news channels saying they were going to come down. This incredible onslaught worldwide,” Eavis went on to explain. There has even been a petition on Change.org that wants Kanye removed from the show line-up. However, Eavis does not plan to budge. “Kanye West is making the most exciting music at the moment. He is an amazing force as a performer. For us, getting the biggest star in the world was an amazing coup.” Kanye can literally never catch a break. Crazy.. SMH!
