Detroit radio station bans Kanye West’s music, starts #MuteKanye movement
A Detroit radio station announced that it will no longer play Kanye West’s music, after the rapper called 400 years of slavery “a choice” for black Americans.
“We don’t want to hear Kanye’s music, we don’t want to play Kanye on our show, we don’t want to talk about Kanye anymore. So we are taking a stand and we aren’t playing his music anymore; we just are refusing to give him a platform,” read a Facebook post from Djs BiGG and Shay Shay from Detroit hip-hop station 105.1 The Bounce.
The two DJs accompanied their announcement with the hashtag #MuteKanye, which sparked heated discussion on Facebook and Twitter.
Listeners tweeted their support and outrage at the Kanye ban.

The fallout continues against Kanye West is growing, #MuteKanye, which is part of a left-wing campaign to silence and marginalize West. In the spirit of that movement, Detroit radio station 105.1 The Bounce has announced that going forward West’s music is blacklisted.
