France's interior minister is determined to prevent Kanye West from performing in Marseille on June 11 due to his antisemitic comments. The minister is exploring all options to enforce this ban. Previously, Britain denied West entry over similar remarks, leading to the cancellation of a festival he was set to headline. The mayor of Marseille has expressed that West is unwelcome in the city, although he lacks the authority to enforce an entry ban.
