Ye postpones Marseille concert after French authorities say they will seek a ban
PARIS (AP) — The rapper formerly known as Kanye West has postponed his upcoming show in Marseille. French authorities had planned to ban the concert by Ye due to a history of antisemitic remarks. Ye announced the decision on social media, expressing a desire to make amends and not put fans in the middle. The show was set for June 11 at Marseille’s Stade Vélodrome. French Interior Minister Laurent Nuñez and Marseille’s mayor opposed the event. Ye has faced backlash for past antisemitic statements and actions. He has apologized, attributing his behavior to bipolar disorder.
