After the UK, Now France Moves to Stop Kanye West From Performing in the Country
France says ‘non’ to Ye.
Unpopular Euro-Globalists have all paid attention to this cheap way to curry favor with the woke crowd: attack controversial rap mogul Kanye West.
After ‘Ye’ was banned from the United Kingdom causing the Wireless festival to be canceled, now the embattled French government is following suit.
Today (14), it arose that French authorities are moving to stop Kanye West from performing at the Marseille Vélodrome.
This escalates the pressure on the author of ‘Ni**er Heil Hitler’ as more European markets seem to be closing for his shows.
🇫🇷 France’s interior minister is seeking to block US rapper Kanye West from performing in the southern city of Marseille in June due to his anti-Semitic remarks, a source close to the minister told AFP on Tuesday.

Politico reported:
“Interior Minister Laurent Nuñez is “very determined” to stop the concert and is exploring “every possibility” to prevent it from going ahead, a ministry spokesperson told POLITICO on Tuesday.
French daily Le Monde reported that Nuñez has raised the issue with regional and local leaders, including Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur prefect Jacques Witkowski and Marseille Mayor Benoît Payan during a visit to the city last week.”
“West has repeatedly drawn condemnation for antisemitic remarks. In 2023, he said he “loved the Nazis” before later apologizing, and in 2025 released a track titled ‘[Ni**er] Heil Hitler’. He has also courted controversy with the slogan ‘White Lives Matter’ and by associating with far-right figures.”
