The cancellation of Kanye West's upcoming concert in Chorzów, Poland, has been announced by Silesian Stadium, where the rapper was set to perform on June 19. Poland's Culture Minister, Marta Cienkowska, condemned the decision, stating that it was unacceptable for an artist who has publicly made antisemitic views and profited from selling swastika T-shirts. This follows a postponement of West's June show in France due to backlash from the country's interior minister and the UK government's decision to deny him a travel visa due to his past remarks and hate speech. The cancellation comes as Ye's Bully album debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 and he is still scheduled to perform in New Delhi, Istanbul, the Netherlands, Italy, Madrid and Portugal later this year.
