A petition has been set up to stop Kanye West from performing at Coachella.
The rapper is set to take to the stage at this year's festival, but his ongoing feud with ex-wife Kim Kardashian and her new partner Pete Davidson has angered fans.
West, who changed his name to Ye last year, has hit out at the Saturday Night Live comic on a number of occasions, even making a very bizarre and pretty sinister music video about him.
The 44-year-old has also made a number of claims about being denied access to their children, alleging that they are falling away from the right path.

A petition has now been set up that claims Ye should not be allowed to perform at the iconic music festival in California.
The petition, which was created by someone who runs a Kim and Pete Instagram account, demands that he be removed from the bill and that companies sever ties with him because of his recent behaviour.
It says: "We have watched Kanye harass, manipulate, and hurt Kim [Kardashian], Pete [Davidson], and others for over a year now.
"No one seems to want to stand up to him, and the ones that do, he puts under fire as well.
"Most recently, he has been threatening actual bodily harm on others. This is ridiculous that he is allowed to freely do this.
"Coachella (along with other brand names that are still working with him) should be ashamed of themselves and should not be giving him any more of a platform. Please sign and share!"
It has since received more than 35,000 signatures, with many branding Ye a 'bully'.
Commenting on the petition, one user said: "The amount of abuse/veiled threats should not be celebrated/tolerated."
Echoing the concern, another chimed in: "He's a bully."
"Because he is acting like this, it is toxic," put a third, while another added: "Bullying and hate have no place in 2022."
The couple married in 2014 and have four children together – North, Chicago, Psalm and Saint – but Kardashian filed for divorce last February, and it was finalised earlier this month.
She is now dating 28-year-old comedian Davidson, who has also been targeted online by her ex, and has seemingly had enough of it.
Last week, a series of messages Davidson and Ye exchanged with one another were leaked online.
In the now-deleted screenshots, Davidson allegedly told Ye: "Yo it's Skete. Can you please take a second and calm down. It’s 8am and it don't gotta be like this."
It went on: "'Kim is literally the best mother I've ever met. What she does for those kids is amazing and you are so f***ing lucky that she's your kids' mom, I've decided I'm not gonna let you treat us this way anymore and I'm done being quiet.
"Grow the f*** up."
