After Kanye’s MTV VMAs fiasco with Taylor Swift, he finds himself in a dangerous career fallout. His “Fame Kills” tour with Lady Gaga was canceled, amid rumors of disappointing sales, that has now been confirmed. Despite having nine nominations, he was a no-show at the October 10 BET Hip-Hop Awards, with non excuse, so far. In a preventive move he was shut out of the recently announced nominations for the 2009 American Music Awards.
Kanye, who kept working after his mother died in 2007, has been on a much-needed break. “The last couple years have been a lot, and it’s worn on him.” says a source at his label, Island Def Jam. “He just got back from a vacation last week and is getting guidance from people closest to him,” he added.
At this point, our advice for repairing his image is perhaps a cameo with Taylor Swift when she hosts “Saturday Night Live,” on November 7, 2009. But, then again…it might be too late!
