São Paulo Mayor Bars Kanye West From City Venues Over Remarks Seen as Praising Nazism

Organizers say the Nov. 29 show will move from Interlagos, with a new venue yet to be announced.

Overview

  • Mayor Ricardo Nunes said no "apologists for Nazism" will perform on city property and pledged to take all necessary steps to prevent such events.
  • City hall stated that no facility under municipal management can be used for the artist's concerts.
  • The planned Nov. 29 concert was initially set for the Interlagos racetrack, and organizers now intend to change the location.
