An English Premier League side is reportedly set to change their club walk-in song during home games after they deciding to cut ties with Kanye West amid growing backlash against the billionaire.
The story
Global music superstar Kanye West has been marred in controversy after he made anti-sematic remarks on social media. The tweets have sparked huge outrage, resulting in several high-profile brands ending their business relationship with the musician. Some of these brands include, including adidas, Gap, Apple Music, Balenciaga, Def Jam, and his own music label G.O.O.D Music.
According to various outlets in the British press, newly-promoted outfit AFC Bournemouth have now also decided to quit using West's song 'Power' when walking into the pitch during their home games at the Vitality Stadium. The club are believed to have had this tradition for several years.

The Cherries this season
Having returned to the topflight at the beginning of the season, the club has already had an eventful time in the division. Although they sit in 14th on the standings and four points adrift from the relegation, the club were beaten by a record-breaking score-line of 9-0 by Liverpool in August, a result that saw the club sack then-manager Scott Parker just after four games into the season.
