Rumor has it that Kanye West has been barred from lending a helping hand in the Hope For Haiti Now telethon that airs tonight.
Despite what you may have heard, the rapper hasn’t been barred from helping Haiti, he just wasn’t vocal about joining the cause.
A source said, “Not true. Telethon organizers took the first people to come to us…on the phone bank and in the singers and presenters.”
An MTV rep said that he was invited, however. A source close to Kanye said, “The report is absolutely false. MTV talent executives involved with booking the telethon contacted Kanye’s management and label about having him perform. Unfortunately, he is unavailable and regrettably unable to participate.”
The telethon airs tonight on most network television stations at 8PM EST.
