The main artist at the center of the situation is controversial rapper Kanye West, who was scheduled to perform at the Pulse of Gaia festival at the RCF Arena in the middle of July. But now, the city's prefect, Salvatore Angieri, has officially canceled his show, as reported by The Guardian. Travis Scott, another popular rapper, was set to perform the same weekend at the same location, and his concert was also canceled.
The government of Reggio Emilia shared a statement about the decision, noting that they took part in meetings about "examining the public order and safety issues associated with the American artist’s (West) concert and the Travis Scott event" after people took issue with the scheduled performances. West, in particular, has become very controversial in recent years due to antisemitic comments and other problematic actions.

Scott hasn't been without his own controversy either. In 2021, at his Astroworld Festival in Texas, there was a fatal crowd crush that led to 10 deaths and many injuries. It's unclear if this past incident also played a role in the decision to cancel his concert in Italy.
