Ye is bringing his tour to Raymond James Stadium this weekend despite a push by Sen. Rick Scott to cancel over the performer's antisemitic statements. We delve into the controversy.

As of late Monday, the Change.org petition had a little over 8,500 signatures. The Ye Live Concert Tour stops in Tampa this Friday and Sunday.

At the center of the dispute is a legal concept known as viewpoint discrimination, a doctrine that generally prevents government entities from allowing some viewpoints while excluding others.

Republican Sens. Rick Scott and Ashley Moody joined Democrat Charlie Crist and other officials, Jewish leaders and Holocaust survivors to protest TSA's decision to book the rapper at the publicly owned stadium.

The Florida Holocaust Museum, the Tampa Jewish Federation and the Florida National Organization for Women have all released statements against the rapper’s performances.

In a letter, the Florida senator cited the rapper's history of "antisemitic" rhetoric, including support for Hitler, and questioned allowing the hip-hop star to perform this month in a taxpayer-funded facility.
