A planned Kanye West concert in Poland has been cancelled, according to the venue hosting the event.

Reuters reported that the venue announced the cancellation of the rapper's scheduled performance. The BBC separately reported that the UK government had blocked West from entering the country due to his history of making antisemitic and pro-Nazi statements.

West, who legally changed his name to Ye, has faced widespread criticism and commercial consequences following a series of antisemitic remarks made in 2022. Several major brands, including Adidas and Gap, ended their partnerships with the artist following his controversial statements.

The cancellation represents the latest in a series of professional setbacks for the rapper since his public comments sparked international condemnation. West had previously been dropped by his talent agency and faced restrictions from social media platforms.

Neither the venue nor West's representatives have provided additional details about the circumstances surrounding the cancellation or potential rescheduling of the performance.
