US rapper Kanye West postponed his concert in the French city of Marseille on Tuesday, April 14, following reports that the country's interior minister was seeking to block the performance.
"After much thought and consideration, it is my sole decision to postpone my show in Marseille, France until further notice," the rapper wrote on X.
France's Interior Minister Laurent Nuñez was seeking to block West from performing in the southern city in a concert scheduled for June 11 due to his antisemitic remarks, Agence France-Presse (AFP) reported earlier on Tuesday.
