Kanye West, the artist formerly known as Kanye West, has postponed his upcoming concert in Marseille, France, after the French Interior Minister's office confirmed it was exploring ways to ban him from performing in the city. While this threat was enough to force West to postpone his show indefinitely, it may be difficult for him to perform in France's oldest city, as local state authorities can only ban a concert under strict conditions if statements at the event risk constituting a criminal offense and public order is threatened. This comes after the UK government denied West's entry into the country after he was scheduled to headline London's Wireless Festival in July due to his past.
