Kanye West postpones France show until further notice
By Jessica Coates
Kanye West has postponed a concert in France as political opposition to the rapper also known as Ye mounts.
West had been due to perform at Marseille’s Orange Velodrome on June 11, but the event faced growing backlash.
“After much thought and consideration, it is my sole decision to postpone my show in Marseille, France until further notice,” West said in a post on social media platform X.
Earlier in April West was denied a UK visa, which led to the cancellation of his headline appearances at Wireless Festival following repeated anti-Semitic remarks.
