France's interior minister is seeking to block US rapper Kanye West from performing in the southern city of Marseille in June due to his antisemitic remarks, a source close to the minister told AFP on Tuesday.

Interior Minister Laurent Nunez is "highly determined" to ban the June 11 concert at Marseille's Velodrome stadium and is exploring "all possibilities", the source said.
