\n\tThe announcement arrives just one week after Wireless Festival, where Ye \u2014 formerly known as Kanye West \u2014 had been slated to top the bill, but was cancelled after the U.K. Home Office denied him entry into the country on the grounds that his presence would not be conducive to public good.<\/p>\n

\n\tYe had been slated to headline three nights of Wireless in July. Multiple U.K.-based Jewish organizations spoke out against the event\u2019s decision to book the 48-year-old, along with the U.K. prime minister Keir Starmer and London major Sadiq Khan, who criticized the move.<\/p>\n

\t\t\t\t\tFrom Ye Headlining to Canceled: A Timeline of Wireless Fest\u2019s\u00a0Collapse\t\t<\/p>\n<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n\tThe artist released a statement on April 7 about his goals to bring \u201cunity, peace and love\u201d to London and showed an openness to meet with leaders of the Jewish community in the U.K., but the ban stood. \u201cMy only goal is to come to London and present a show of change, bringing unity, peace and love through my music,\u201d he said ahead of the cancellation.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI would be grateful for the opportunity to meet with members of the Jewish community in the U.K. in person, to listen. I know words aren\u2019t enough \u2014 I\u2019ll have to show change through my actions. If you\u2019re open, I\u2019m here.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tPer a recent AFP <\/em>report, French officials had already been weighing action ahead of the June 11 date at Marseille\u2019s Orange V\u00c9Lodrome, with French interior minister Laurent Nunez exploring options to block the performance.\u00a0Nunez had reportedly started the process to block Ye from traveling to France to perform while discussing the matter with the mayor of Marseille, Beno\u00eet Payan, during a visit earlier this month.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cAfter much thought and consideration, it is my sole decision to postpone my show in Marseille, France until further notice,\u201d Ye wrote on X. In a follow-up message, he added, \u201cI take full responsibility for what\u2019s mine but I don\u2019t want to put my fans in the middle of it. My fans are everything to me. Looking forward to the next shows.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe postponement comes amid ongoing fallout from a series of antisemitic and pro-Nazi remarks made by the rapper on social media and podcasts in recent years, which have sparked widespread backlash and impacted his live appearances. In May 2025, Ye released a song called \u201cHeil Hitler\u201d and sold T-shirts featuring swastikas.<\/p>\n

\n\tUnder French law, Nazi ideology, symbols, and the denial of the Holocaust are illegal.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn January, Ye issued a lengthy apology in The Wall Street Journal<\/em>, stating, \u201cI am not a Nazi or an antisemite,\u201d and attributing past behavior in part to struggles with a brain injury and bipolar disorder.<\/p>\n

\n\tAs of Wednesday (April 15), Ye\u2019s official website still had him listed to perform in several other European countries throughout the summer, including Turkey, the Netherlands, Italy, Spain and Portugal. He is also scheduled to play in New Delhi, India, in late May.<\/p>\n

Ye returned with his Bully <\/em>album on March 28, which charted at No. 2 on the Billboard 200. He performed a pair of sold-out shows at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles on April 1 and April 3.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
