Ye is set to perform a controversial 'listening party' in China this week, and many are wondering why

Summary

Ye, formerly known as Kanye West , was set to hold a listening party for his new "Vultures" studio album on the Chinese island of Hainan on Sept. 15 .

Many fans were dumbfounded when the straitlaced Communist Party agreed to allow one of the world's most notorious rappers to perform.

Some are wondering if tourism revenue and a desire for international recognition are at the heart of the Communist Party's decision to allow the controversial artist in.

Ye has faced backlash in many parts of the world after antisemitic remarks he made in 2022 , which resulted in the termination of a lucrative partnership with Adidas in October 2022 .

But he may face less blowback in China , where a surge in anti-Israel sentiment has swept across social media following the outbreak of the Israel-Hamas War .
