Kanye West Postpones France Show

The city's mayor and the interior minister had publicly opposed the show, stating they did not want it to be a 'showcase for those who promote hatred'.

West, who now goes by Ye, claimed the postponement was his 'sole decision' to avoid putting fans in the middle of a political dispute.

The move comes just one week after the rapper was barred from entering the UK for a headline festival appearance.

European officials are increasingly using public safety and hate speech laws to restrict the artist's ability to perform on the continent.
