- Kanye West has postponed his concert in Marseille, France, after French authorities reportedly considered banning him from entering the country.
- French Interior Minister Laurent Nuñez and Marseille mayor Benoît Payan are actively exploring options to prevent the concert, citing West's promotion of hatred and Nazism.
- This follows the cancellation of West's three-date headline show at Wireless Festival in London earlier this month, after he was denied a UK visa.
- The UK Home Office rejected his travel authorisation, deeming his presence "not conducive to the public good" due to his repeated antisemitic comments, including releasing a song titled "Heil Hitler" and selling swastika T-shirts.
- West previously issued an apology in The Wall Street Journal, attributing his past behaviour to a "manic episode of psychotic, paranoid and impulsive behaviour."
