Kanye West took the stage at the Superdome in New Orleans on Friday, performing a 2.5-hour show without once mentioning the ICE arrest of his top executive, Milo Yiannopoulos.
The rapper performed on a large globe-shaped stage before a packed crowd, just a day after Yiannopoulos was detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents at a Louisiana airport.
Yiannopoulos entered the U. S.
legally in 2019 but overstayed his authorized period, leading an immigration judge to issue a final removal order on July 22, 2026.
Video obtained by TMZ shows Kanye wearing all red with a mask over his head, performing hits like "Through The Wire," "Jesus Walks," and "Good Life."
An eyewitness told TMZ that Kanye did not say a word about Yiannopoulos, keeping his focus entirely on the performance.
During the show, Ty Dolla $ign joined Kanye on stage for a mashup combining Backstreet Boys and "Return of the Mack."
Ty also remained silent on the matter.
Yiannopoulos has not publicly commented, as he remains in custody. ICE released a mug shot showing him looking unhappy.
