Hip-hop artist Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, has postponed his upcoming Marseille, France concert "until further notice" following a ban from entering the UK from entering. This follows a similar incident at the Wireless Festival where he was initially scheduled to headline three nights of the event, but was denied entry by the U.K. Home Office on grounds that his presence would not be conducive to public good. This postponement comes amid ongoing fallout from a series of antisemitic and pro-Nazi remarks made by Ye, which have caused widespread backlash and impacted his live appearances.
