Why didn’t Kanye West participate in the 2022 Grammys?

_x000D_On March 18, 2022, about two weeks before the 64th annual Grammy Awards ceremony,  producers told West’s team that he would not be allowed to perform. According to a representative of the rapper, the organizers cited West’s troubling public behavior in recent weeks.
