Another Kanye West<\/a> show has been cancelled,<\/a> this time by Swiss football club FC Basel.<\/a><\/p>\n

Swiss media had earlier reported that the controversial rapper <\/a>and producer would perform at St Jakob-Park, the home of FC Basel, in June.<\/p>\n

However, representatives for the club told Reuters that the planned show was \u201cnot in accordance with our values\u201d and had decided not to proceed following a review.<\/p>\n

\u201cFCB received an enquiry and considered it,\u201d the spokesperson said. \u201cHowever, after thorough review, we have decided not to proceed with the project, as we cannot, in accordance with our values, provide a platform for the artist in question within this context.\u201d<\/p>\n

West, who now goes by Ye, has had a number of shows either cancelled or postponed following a backlash over his past antisemitic comments.<\/p>\n

He was due to appear at the Silesian Stadium in Chorz\u00f3w on 19 June, which would have marked his first performance in Poland in 15 years<\/a>. But the venue said on Friday (17 April) that it would not go ahead \u201cdue to formal and legal reasons\u201d.<\/p>\n

The decision came after Poland\u2019s culture minister, Marta Cienkoska, spoke out against the show, branding it \u201cunacceptable\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are talking about an artist who has publicly made antisemitic views, downplayed crimes and profited from selling swastika T-shirts,\u201d she wrote on X. \u201cThese are not \u2018controversies\u2019. This is a deliberate crossing of boundaries and the normalisation of hatred.\u201d<\/p>\n

Earlier this month, West\u2019s three-night headline slot at Wireless Festival in London was blocked after the UK government denied him entry to the country.<\/a><\/p>\n

West also announced that his planned show at the Orange Velodrome in Marseille, France, on 11 June was postponed until further notice.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter much thought and consideration, it is my sole decision to postpone my show in Marseille,\u201d he wrote on X. \u201cI know it takes time to understand the sincerity of my commitment to make amends.<\/p>\n

\u201cI take full responsibility for what\u2019s mine but I don\u2019t want to put my fans in the middle of it. My fans are everything to me. Looking forward to the next shows. See you at the top of the globe.\u201d<\/p>\n

West still has several other shows scheduled, with the promoter for his concert in Madrid telling The Independent: \u201cThe Ye Live Madrid show is going ahead as planned. We\u2019re confident it will sell out in the coming weeks and deliver an incredible night for Ye fans.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Another Kanye West show has been cancelled, this time by Swiss football club FC Basel.
