Kanye West and Ty Dolla Sign performed at Rolling Loud last Thursday. The show fell short of expectations, with the duo mainly remaining stationary on stage while music played. Disappointed fans took to social media to express their dissatisfaction. Disturbingly, a transgender woman was attacked in the crowd during the event. The victim, Blu Linares, recounted the incident to TMZ, stating that she was dancing when a moshpit suddenly erupted, leading to her being blamed, insulted, and physically assaulted. The woman sustained a forehead wound, describing the ordeal as feeling transphobic. The lack of condemnation from Kanye West and Ty Dolla Sign, along with their fanbase's negative reputation, particularly regarding transphobia, is concerning.
Social media responses mostly sided against Linares, a distressing trend. Our thoughts are with Linares, and we hope for her well-being. Stay updated on music news by listening to 103.5 The Beat.
