He’s not rehabilitated at all. If you see video of his concerts, he’s been considerably marginalized

He's still pretty widely condemned. His anti semitism makes him an welcome figure on the extreme right, Candice owens types, but that's it. He's never getting another shoe deal for instance, he'll never headline a massive sponsored event ever again.

He's also nearing 50 which means room to grow is pretty slim. Not that I think him being younger would help that much, but age is certainly a factor.

He’s not rehabilitating. He gave a free concert. The audience was a large majority of randos that couldn’t even name any of his songs.

The show was not free lmao
His concert on April 3rd was the highest grossing rap concert of all time and one of the highest grossing concerts of all time.
Over 18 million in ticket sales alone

Might be paywalled.
He still is the biggest act in rap in the world & despite everything, could sell out probably anywhere.
Supposedly he wanted to do coachella for free but they said no, not quite sure how true that is.

Holy shit. Thank you.
This line made me laugh though: “His Friday show earned more than $18 million in ticket sales, said the people, who declined to be identified because the data hasn’t been cleared for public release.”
Said the people, lol. I’m not doubting you or anything, what is that!?

The venues usually release the official numbers to billboard within a few days of the show.
I’m assuming the numbers may not be completely finalized & someone wouldn’t wanna lose their job over something stupid like revealing ticket sales.
Wireless’s presale sold out in about an hour this morning (the festival he was set to headline for 3 days but got cancelled in the UK) no doubt it would’ve been a complete sell out.

Clickbait stories about reputation rehabilitation do not equal rehabilitation.
Unless rehabilitation is almost nobody giving a shit about you.
