Kanye West Postpones France Show
The concert, originally scheduled for June 11 at the Vélodrome stadium, faced mounting political opposition from local officials including Marseille's mayor.
West announced the decision on social media, stating he wanted to take responsibility and make amends rather than putting his fans in the middle of a controversy.
Interior Minister Laurent Nuñez had publicly pushed for a ban, citing concerns over public order and the artist's past praise for Adolf Hitler.
This latest cancellation continues a trend of international venues distancing themselves from the controversial star as he struggles to secure major performance dates.
