New Delhi [India], May 15 : The highly anticipated India debut concert of Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, has been cancelled.
Ye was scheduled to perform in Delhi on May 23, but the organisers announced that the show could no longer go ahead due to "security advisories and directives issued by the concerned government and law enforcement authorities."
On Friday, an official statement by White Fox, a popular global entertainment company, was released.
It read, "We are deeply disheartened to announce that Ye Live in India, scheduled for 23rd May 2026 in New Delhi, will not be able to proceed due to directives issued by officials.
