An ex-council member of Atlanta has declared that there will be no Kanye West Day due to his recent controversies. The former council member Natalyn Archibong is distancing herself, stating that she wouldn’t bestow the honor now.
Now after Kanye’s rambles about George Floyd having died of a fentanyl overdose rather than police brutality, the ex-councilwoman terribly regrets having a part in the city’s day named after the rapper.
The former congresswoman was part of Atlanta’s city council last year and she mentioned that there were several reasons why back in 2021 she spearheaded the Kanye West Day initiative. First and foremost, West was born in Atlanta, Georgia, secondly Donda West attended Morris Brown College, and according to Natalyn “the proclamation was an acknowledgment of his substantial contribution to the arts.”
The thing about having a day named after a person is that it can’t be taken back, according to her, and it can’t be repeated either.
Archibong also commented that the “July 2021 proclamation did not envision that in 2022, the artist formerly known as Kanye West would boldly make such ugly and hurtful statements.”
Kanye West Day was named the day he began his Donda tour in Atlanta on July 22, 2021
Natalyn has mentioned that she did not want to revise history, but if she’d known how West was going to react, she would have not taken the initiative to honor the rapper with a very important distinction.
