Kanye West's concerts in Russia have been cancelled, and authorities have opened an investigation into the matter, according to BILD. The German outlet reported the development on Wednesday.
The cancellation marks another scrapped date for the US rapper, with several German-language outlets carrying the same story. T-Online described it as the next cancellation for West, while n-tv reported the news in its daily roundup. L'essentiel noted that an investigation is underway alongside the cancelled shows.
BILD's headline indicates that authorities are now looking into the situation, though the reporting available does not specify which agency is involved or what the inquiry concerns. Details on how many shows were affected and where they were due to take place were not included in the material available.
The reports follow a pattern of cancelled appearances for West, though the available coverage does not explain the reasons behind this latest round of cancellations in Russia.
What to watch next: whether Russian authorities or West's representatives release further details about the scope of the investigation and the status of any remaining tour dates.
