Surrounded by 120 gospel singers, Kanye West gave his Sunday Service by surprise this Sunday, a concert mass at the Bouffes du Nord theater. Enough to piss off transgender artist Phia Ménard, who accuses the Parisian theater of having programmed his show Sunday for the benefit of the rapper, according to a message posted Monday on Facebook.

Juggler, performer and director Phia Ménard says that a performance of her show Maison Mère was "unilaterally un-scheduled within 24 hours" for the benefit of this concert "under the fallacious argument of" technical problems "".
Known for her feminist positions and her shows denouncing sexism and patriarchy as the Dry Season presented in 2018 at the Avignon Festival, the 49-year-old artist adds, addressing her audience: “It was a fake to hide the privatization of this private theater for the benefit of a religious mass and the money of the pro-Trump singer #KanyeWest ", indignant the 49-year-old artist.
"I refuse denial and contempt for our team"
"It seems to me that when you unilaterally break a contract and you deliberately lie to spectators, you do not advertise it or you display your contempt," he said. she added in her message. AFP contacted the theater, which did not react immediately.
"I am an artist, a trans woman, company director, I refuse denial and contempt for our team who worked hard to bring this cardboard tragedy to life," said Phia Ménard.
And to conclude thus: "I cannot help thinking and associating myself with the powerful words of Virginie Despentes in her tribune" From now on we get up and get out of here. "
