A proposed Kanye West concert in São Paulo, Brasil, where the rapper reportedly faced the threat of arrest if he espoused Nazism, was ultimately canceled after local authorities voted against permitting the event.
According to CNN Brasil, the event was set to take place on November 29th at the Interlagos Racetrack in São Paulo. However, the São Paulo City Hall derailed those plans when it vetoed West’s use of the venue, citing his past promotion of Nazism and hate speech. “He won’t sing a single word,” said São Paulo mayor Ricardo Nunes.
Event organizers still hope to bring West to Brazil sometime in 2026, though likely in a different city.
