Kanye West has postponed his scheduled concert in Marseille following reports that French authorities were considering blocking the event.
The rapper announced that the decision to delay the June 11 show was his own, coming after mounting pressure from officials, including Interior Minister Laurent Nunez, over his past controversial remarks.
West, who has faced widespread backlash for antisemitic statements, said he did not want to put his fans in a difficult position and is taking responsibility for his actions while seeking to make amends.
The development comes as several countries continue to scrutinize his appearances, with the UK previously denying him entry and other European nations closely monitoring the situation.
