French minister seeks ban of Kanye West concert in Marseille

French Interior Minister Laurent Nunez is seeking to block Kanye West's concert scheduled for June 11, 2026, at Marseille's Velodrome stadium due to his antisemitic remarks. Marseille's mayor, Benoît Payan, has also opposed the rapper's visit, stating he does not want the city to be a showcase for those who promote hatred. West has faced criticism for his statements and has already been banned from entering the UK.
