Peter Rosenberg Calls Ye ‘Weird’ for Interrupting Ceremony to Unveil Honorary Street Sign for Donda West
East 78th Street in Chicago's South Shore neighborhood was renamed for the rapper's mother.
During Thursday's street renaming ceremony for the late mother of rapper Ye (formerly Kanye West) in Chicago, former Hot 97 host Peter Rosenberg expressed his disapproval of West's behavior. Rosenberg called West "weird" for interrupting the ceremony to unveil the honorary street sign for Donda West, his mother. Rosenberg stated that West should have waited for someone else to handle the ceremony and clap like everyone else.
He emphasized that Donda West, who passed away in 2007, was incredibly deserving of the honor. Rosenberg, a Jewish man, also criticized West's 2023 apology for his antisemitic remarks and actions, labeling it as the "single biggest fall-off in the history of entertainment." The ceremony took place at East 78th Street in Chicago's South Shore neighborhood, where West was raised.
