Ye performs comeback concert after apology

American artist Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, held a large concert at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California, in March 2026, marking a return to live performance following a period of public controversy.

The concert took place months after Ye issued a public apology in January 2026 for prior antisemitic statements and actions. These included the release of a song in May 2025 containing references to Nazi ideology, as well as other related public conduct.

The performance drew a large audience, with tens of thousands in attendance. During the event, Ye addressed the crowd and acknowledged continued support from fans over the course of his career.

Musician Lauryn Hill was referenced in connection with the event as a figure of support. The concert featured a setlist spanning multiple periods of Ye’s musical career.

The event followed a period in which Ye’s work and public statements led to restrictions from major platforms and widespread criticism. The March performance represented a significant public appearance after those developments.
