Picture 11

A bevy of top-selling artists will perform a cross-continent televised fundraiser for “Hope For Haiti Now” tomorrow. Wyclef Jean, Jennifer Hudson, Mary J. Blige, and Shakira will perform from New York; Los Angeles hosts Alicia Keys, Christina Aguilera, John Legend, Justin Timberlake, Stevie Wonder, and Taylor Swift; and Coldplay joins Bono, Jay-Z and Rihanna in London.

But there’s one star who won’t be there. And that’s Kanye West.

“After what he said on the Katrina telethon and the way he behaved at the MTV Video Music Awards, everyone agrees it’s just best that he does not participate,” said a producer. “Kanye has to make everything about himself. He will do anything to steal the spotlight, and, well, this night it’s just not about him.”

The two-hour program will be simulcast on all major networks, HBO and music-themed cable channels and online at video sites including YouTube and Hulu. It will benefit on-the-ground-in-Haiti charities like Oxfam, Partners in Health, the Red Cross and Wyclef’s Yele Haiti organization.

Does Kanye deserve this kind of treatment?

    Thats not very nice… I think Kanye should be apart of the fundraiser. Are people really going to condem him over one mistake? we all make mistakes and am sure Kanye has learned from his mistakes.. Give him a break.

    did they ban him from it because he’s black? btw, picture number 5 is my favorite one.

    white people are just scared he’ll say something unscripted and truthfull, like he always does. kanye is the most 2pac artist we have left in that he will speak the truth. he might say “y are we performing to raise money that probably wont make it to the poorest people who need it”. and he would be correct. stop all this kanye hatred, especially if ur from the chi cuz hes representing us. big up to the south side. stop all the hatred please, its unhealthy.

    Great decision!!!!!

    I don’t think they are banning him because he’s black (don’t start that. it’s not always a race thing) or because they’re hating(and i don’t think he’s the “most Pac artist” just because he’s willing to say anything. Pac actually stood for something). They are banning him becuse he dosen’t know how to act (sorry to say that like he’s a child) but its true. Personally, I think they are doing the right thing and the producer pointed out some good reasons.
    But Kanye being Kayne is gonna say something about it just wait.

    @ I_AM_BACK_4_MORE

    Did they ban him because he’s black??? OMFG..really? Did you not see all the NEGRAS..yeah I said NEGRAS..they have performing on the show??

    Seriously..I don’t blame them for banning him. The Taylor Swift incident is one of many that shows that Kayne cannot exhibit proper self-control in a public/televised forum…

    With that being said..he can scream and shout about how much Bush still doesnt like Black people..from the comfort of his couch where Amber Rose is there to listen..

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/SexyMoneyMaker/ SexyMoneyMaker

    lol wow not Kanye is banned from events and fund raisers

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/sexyPhoenix88/ sexyPhoenix88

    Good he deserves it.. Kanye really is a jackass.. and he don’t know HOW to act in public so until he learns.. keep his ass out the limelight

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Drealuv1/ Drealuv1

    he’s not banned. this is false info. the MTV folks said that Kanye didn’t reach out to them to do it, that’s why he wont be there. Nobody banned him.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Midwest_Vinyl_Vixen/ Midwest_Vinyl_Vixen

    why do he sound like he’s retarded and can’t breath? He’s too young to be winded like that.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/LastManStandingTall/ LastManStandingTall

    That was good. They didn’t need that black jackass shooting off his mouth and making the telethon about him. I’m sure some of you zombies hang on his every word. There is a much-larger group of people like me who just don’t give a shyt about what he thinks, EVER…

    Wow, he has so totally screwed up his career!! I am actually completely shocked he has made it this far in the industry. What a sad excuse for a human being.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Amberenergy26/ Amberenergy26

    And I must add…

    I am a firm believer in “speaking your mind”, but the trick is to HAVE SOME CLASS ABOUT IT! He lacks that on a tremendous level!

It’S Black History Month SUPPORT A a brother!!!!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/MizIndep3ndent1/ MizIndep3ndent1

    tryna get on the white man side funny lol No it just common sense he gets on tv and embarasses himself and all other black ppl by sayin dumb s**t he’s a cry like baby when he dont win and just says stuff cuz he feels it appropriate to say and Im black myself and to call ppl ignorate cause they band him now think would u want somebody at ur gathering, and always who have sumthing to say (wrong thing to say) when everybody else is tryna have fun ummm no so get real its 2010 get out of the old age yea he was speaking for other ppl but u he needs to just speak for himself cause half the time he’s the only one that feels that way. ppl crack me up with the whole ignorant stuff when they are the ones whos closed minded and stuck somewhere they have never been or experienced. And it would be all the same if a white,latino,asian person did the same thing its about business and helpin not ooo no I didnt win or she didnt wen or so and so dont like blk ppl if ur proud of who u are why worry about being accepted by other ppl, But no we just have to make it seem as if “the white man” as u say right of how ignorant we are if u gonna prove them wrong do something about it ur self and become something instead of keepin ya mind on hood things
    instead of b***h and complain about it NOW IM TOO THRU
    AND yea its blk history month and I pretty sure Martin wasnt talking about this in his dream

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/KINESHIA/ KINESHIA

As for being stuck in thinking hood my mother is in the army Honey I have stayed out of this country been round many cultures but I Love mine More!!!! As for bringing up MArtin I just Said it Was Black history month and 2 Support a brotha LOL or is that the only person you can think of? Lmao Howeva I’m sure martin would still want us 2 support him people make mistakes all the time you live and you learn so why would we keep him down??

    Being banned and not being invited two different things. Either way you look at it whether or not he is at the event, if he has something to say, Kanye is going to say it… right or wrong, good or bad. Freedom of speech is one hell of an Amendment and he is very much entitled to it. My question is what does race have to do with it? Nothing, it doesnt matter what color for all people have said some of the dumbest meanest hurtful and RACIST comments, now how does that really affect you?
