"It's currently unclear exactly why Kanye's backing out," the publication notes, although he has had a tumultuous few months, feuding online with everyone from Trevor Noah (who he used racial slurs against, resulting in a 24-hour ban from Instagram) to Pete Davidson, who he has a particularly tense relationship with.
Billie Eilish, Harry Styles, and Swedish House Mafia are still set to headline, although Ye's absence leaves audiences with a clear lack of diversity.
Scott was initially set to headline back in 2020, but the show was ultimately cancelled due to COVID-19. He was booked again for 2022, but after the tragedy that unfolded at Astroworld Festival last November, organizers opted out of commissioning him.
