American rapper Ye (Kanye West) had his upcoming Prague concert canceled after the venue pulled out of the agreement. This marks the latest in a series of canceled shows for the controversial artist, according to PrahaIN.cz.

The event, set for July 25 at a horse-racing track and organized by Slovak producer Hugo Varga, was terminated by venue owner Zuzana Rambova. She stated that the arena ended the organizer contract without providing specific reasons.

Varga had previously organized a Slovakia rap festival in summer 2025 where Ye was scheduled to appear. Following local protests and preparation concerns, Ye withdrew and the festival was ultimately scrapped.

Varga attributed the festival failure to financial regulations at the time and argued in a Forbes Slovakia statement that Ye should not be prevented from performing due to earlier missteps.

Rambova similarly expressed that Ye should remain free to perform despite past antisemitic remarks.

Multiple events featuring Ye scrapped as of late

The Prague cancellation continues a pattern of aborted performances since Ye began making antisemitic statements publicly.

In April, a planned July appearance at the UK Wireless Festival was dropped after Ye was denied a visa.

Shortly afterward, a June concert in Marseille was postponed amid opposition from French politicians, including Marseille Mayor Benoit Payan.

Further shows planned for Poland, Italy, and additional countries have also been aborted recently.

Ye began making anti-Jewish statements on social media in October 2022, triggering sponsor and partner cancellations. In May 2025, he attributed the remarks to untreated bipolar disorder, claimed to have abandoned anti-Jewish views, and issued a public apology.
