behind-the-scenes drama involving Taylor Swift and Olivia Rodrigo over the latter’s album credits. Then rumors began swirling that, given their notorious history, something allegedly underhanded was afoot by Swift and Kanye West occupying major categories together – prompting a response from the Recording Academy itself.

And now, West has reportedly been removed outright from the night’s performance lineup, reportedly over a very tense, ongoing situation.

A representative for the rapper confirmed to Variety that reports suggesting he was barred from performing (as initially intended, alongside the likes of Billie Eilish and Lil Nas X) are indeed true.

The insider wouldn’t go into further details, only linked a story from The Blast to the outlet as a frame of reference. Their initial story cited the reason behind the Grammys’ decision was due to Kanye West’s “concerning online behavior” of late.
