The news comes just over a week after the United Kingdom refused entry to the rapper, formerly known as Kanye West, leading to the cancelation of a summer festival he was due to headline.

Ye posted on X on Tuesday night that the show in the southern city of Marseilles on June 11, his only planned French date, would also no longer take place. "After much thought and consideration, it is my sole decision to postpone my show in Marseilles, France until further notice," he wrote.
