Earlier, Marseille mayor Benoit Payan called out Kanye West's upcoming performance in the city and wrote, "I refuse to let Marseille be a showcase for those who promote hatred and unapologetic Nazism. Kanye West is not welcome at the Velodrome, our temple of living together and of all Marseillais."
According to Variety, French Interior Minister Laurent Nunez reportedly met Payan and the prefect of the Provence-Alpes-Cote d'Azur region, Jacques Witkowski, to discuss barring West from performing in Marseille.
On April 7, the <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/entertainment/hollywood-news/article/kanye-west-denied-entry-into-the-uk-wireless-festival-cancelled-23624600" target="_blank" rel="none noopener">UK government</a> denied Kanye West's entry into the country after he was scheduled to headline London's Wireless Festival in July.
Major festival sponsors also pulled out of the festival after his booking, though none explicitly named West as the reason. While Prime Minister Keir Starmer and London Mayor Sadiq Khan publicly denounced both Kanye West and the festival's decision to book him, the rapper was then denied a visa on April 7, as per The Hollywood Reporter.
At that time, Kanye West, in a statement, said, "My only goal is to come to London and present a show of change, bringing unity, peace and love through my music. I would be grateful for the opportunity to meet with members of the Jewish community in the U.K. in person, to listen. I know words aren't enough -- I'll have to show change through my actions."

The album debuted at No 2 on the Billboard 200, further posting solid streaming numbers on multiple platforms.
