46-year-old Ye has become virtually "untouchable" by promoters who aren't willing to risk their credibility by giving him a platform after the Runaway rapper's most recent rant.

Promoters and local governments were said to be "put off" by the rapper after a series of anti-semitic rants and bizarre behavior, among other recent controversies.

While Ye's latest album, Vultures 1, has shot to the top of the charts, a music business consultant for South American venues said, "Nobody wants to be linked with him,"

"No local government or people that manage the stadiums and the venues for concerts or cultural events want to have Kanye come to their city," the source said. "It’s just too much to handle. The answer will always be no."
