Australia calls on Kanye West to get vaccinated before tour

Two weeks ago, tennis player Novak Djokovic was expelled from Australia for not being vaccinated. Djokovic wanted to defend his title at the Australian Open, but a dispute arose over the validity of his visa. In the end, the federal court ruled that the tennis star had to leave the country.

Asked about the possible arrival of West, whose vaccination status is unknown, Morrison said at a news conference: “The rules apply to everyone, as people have seen recently. It doesn’t matter who you are, you have to follow the rules. Follow the rules and you can come. Don’t follow the rules, and you can’t come.”

West had said in an interview in 2020 that getting vaccinated is equal to “a mark of the beast”, but in 2021 he admitted on social media that he had had one shot.
