Kanye West covers his face with black balaclava as he signs autographs for fans at the airport… after saying he won’t perform at Coachella unless Billie Eilish apologizes to Travis Scott
Kanye West caused a stir when he was spotted by fans at the airport on Friday.
Despite Ye’s attempt to go incognito by covering his face in a black balaclava, eager onlookers swarmed the 44-year-old rapper as he descended down the escalator.
The Flashing Lights hitmaker was seen signing autographs while fans snapped pH๏τos of the star on their cell phones.
This comes after the family of the youngest victim of the Astroworld tragedy, nine-year-old Ezra Blount, slammed Kanye for his ‘idiotic’ demand that Billie Eilish apologize for her veiled criticism of Travis Scott.
Beron Blount, Ezra’s grandfather, spoke out in an interview with Rolling Stone following Ye’s Instagram threat to pull out of his Coachella performance if Eilish didn’t say she was sorry.
Travis Scott, meanwhile, is being slammed on Reddit for having ‘no remorse’ over the fatal incident because he liked Kanye’s social media post.
‘To hear Kanye’s words, that’s hurtful to us. What an idiotic thing to say,’ Bernon told the outlet.
Bernon and his wife Tericia are the grandparents of the youngest victim of the Astroworld crowd stampede that killed 10 people.
Ezra, nine, fell from his dad’s shoulders during the surge and landed in a coma, dying later in the hospital.
On Thursday, Kanye took to Instagram to demand that Billie Eilish apologize for her recent comments regarding Travis Scott and the Astroworld tragedy.
His statement came after Eilish, 20, recently stopped her show to give an inhaler to a fan who couldn’t breathe, and made a comment that many took to be a dig at Scott.
After noticing the distressed fan, Eilish halted her performance and directed medical staff to administer aid to the fan and subsequently asked the other attendees to step back and let the individual in question regain their composure.
‘I wait for people to be OK until I keep going,’ the Ocean Eyes singer said, seeming to allude to Scott’s ᴅᴇᴀᴅly Astroworld Festival while shaming the rapper’s conduct on stage.
The singer’s comment caused the audience to begin cheering loudly, and she proceeded to resume her show.
Ezra’s grandmother, Tericia Blount told Rolling Stone: ‘I think it’s just crazy, and I hate to use that word, but I think it’s ridiculous. She’s making sure that she is caring for the patrons at her concert, and I just think that’s crazy of Kanye to even let that demand come out of his mouth.’
In response to Billie, who never actually mentioned Travis or Astroworld, Kanye penned on Instagram: ‘Come on Billie we love you please apologize to Trav and to the families of the people who lost their lives.
