Kanye West has lost a lot of money in the wake of his anti-Semitic remarks, and the saga has also led to Texas A&M making a change to a pregame routine they have had for a decade.
Since 2012, Texas A&M has entered Kyle Field prior to kickoff with the music from West’s song “Power” playing over the stadium loudspeakers. Athletic director Ross Bjork said this week that the Aggies will no longer play that song after West sent inflammatory tweets about “Jewish people” and then doubled down on his stance in interviews.
After originally saying West’s track would be replaced by Childish Gambino’s “Bonfire,” which is the song Texas A&M runs out to at the start of the third quarter, Bjork tweeted on Friday that the Aggies will use sounds and music from their school’s drumline rather than a song.
