Other countries have turned on the red light. Albania has committed four million euros.

Albania has allocated four million euros to host a concert by rapper Kanye West, despite his controversial and antisemitic remarks, which led to cancellations in other European countries. Prime Minister Edi Rama justified the decision by stating the event could bring at least 100 million euros in revenue to the country. Meanwhile, several European nations, including the United Kingdom and Poland, have banned West from entering their territories or holding concerts due to his support for Nazi ideology and promotion of hate symbols like the swastika. Despite these controversies, Netherlands recently hosted two of his concerts, drawing tens of thousands of attendees.
