THE FUSE

Kanye West, the rapper-producer now known as Ye, returned to the stage in Los Angeles with only music on his mind during the first of his two-night stint at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, Calif., on Wednesday, April 1. His comeback concert follows years of headline-grabbing controversies, mental health struggles, and his public apology in a Wall Street Journal ad this past January for his antisemitic remarks. In rare form, the usually unfiltered artist offered no commentary on the backlash during his first major musical U.S. outing in several years.
