Notably, West’s performances were previously canceled in Switzerland, Poland and France. A particularly notorious incident occurred in the U.K., where the rapper was denied entry due to his antisemitic statements, forcing the entire Wireless Festival in London to be canceled.

Despite a series of apologies for his past statements, several countries continue to regard the artist as unwelcome.
