Kanye West, also currently known as ‘Ye, has been the subject of plenty of controversy recently. Comments from the rapper/entrepreneur’s have forced several businesses to cut their ties with him. Some teams have also stopped playing his music in arenas and stadiums.
Texas A&M football will be joining that list.
Texas A&M football will "pivot away" from Kanye West, or Ye's, "Power" after his recent anti-Semetic remarks, according to AD Ross Bjork.
Said they've been monitoring the situation with West for the last few weeks.

Bjork said they will use the song the team runs out to at halftime between the drummers and the War Hymn.

The Aggies (3-4, 1-3) are currently on a three-game losing skid and are in danger of not making a bowl game. Head coach Jimbo Fisher has been under fire all season and recently suspended several players of a locker-room incident. So maybe a change in music isn’t the worst idea.
Texas A&M will host No. 15 Ole Miss this weekend at Kyle Field. Kickoff is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. ET on the SEC Network.
