Overview

  • Kanye West’s São Paulo concert remains scheduled for November 29, but the Interlagos racetrack booking was revoked by the city and no new venue has been announced.
  • São Paulo’s mayor said municipal properties will not host performances by anyone who promotes Nazism, reinforcing the veto on using city-owned spaces.
  • A São Paulo public prosecutor requested a Tropa de Choque team be on standby to arrest West in flagrante if Nazi-themed lyrics or praise are performed.
  • The prosecutor’s directive covers producers and bars the use of Nazi symbols or songs such as “Heil Hitler,” with enforcement framed as a public-order offense.
  • Tickets are still being sold and the promoter says it paid for the original reservation and is seeking a private venue, with a reported $5 million fee cited as a reason not to cancel.
