Kanye West Compares Himself To Elvis Presley For Not Being Allowed To Perform

The rapper compared himself to Presley on social media for not being allowed to perform, reports aceshowbiz.com.

He uploaded a black-and-white photo featuring a message that read, "I HAVE NOT BEEN ALLOWED TO PERFORM IN A YEAR. FEELS LIKE THE ELVIS PRESLEY MOVIE.”

He seemingly was making a reference to Elvis being banned from gigs due to his provocative performances.

Shortly after sharing the post, West appeared to have been contacted by many to offer him some help. He released screenshots of his text exchanges with a number of people, who assured him that they could help in booking venues, via Instagram Story.

Upon learning that many have ran to help, the "Father Stretch My Hands Pt. 1" spitter issued a follow-up statement on the same social media platform. He penned, "Please reach out to Cara Lewis Group for all bookings -YE."

Earlier that same day, Kanye let out a video to talk about his struggles to book arenas for his shows.

In the footage, he could be heard saying, "We just sold out the United Center in seven minutes, and I just want to express to everybody out there to see if it's anyone that can help with this. It's the only arena that I had access to in the past year."

The "Flashing Lights" rapper said: "And when I call, people say there's no avails for me and you know why that is," while seemingly referring to his controversial remarks.

"So if there's anybody out there that can help with this, please do," he concluded.
