New place, new mobilization against the performances of the singer from Lyon. The mayor of Clermont-Ferrand Olivier Bianchi (PS) has asked the Puy-de-Dôme prefecture to ban the concert of controversial far-right rapper Millésime K, scheduled for Saturday, the town hall said on Thursday. The date is not indicated on its site, but the concert would be scheduled about fifteen kilometers south of Clermont-Ferrand, according to France Blue Auvergne.
The socialist mayor of Lille Martine Aubry had made the same request for a ban on March 21. The prefecture did not follow up and the rapper finally performed in the village of Nieppe, 20 km from Lille, according to the Voice of the North. Same scenario for Chasselay, near Lyon, where the performance finally took place, according to Lyon Capital.

Conversely, near Grenoble, the mobilization of several unions and anti-fascist organizations had canceled the first date of March 10 of his tour entitled “Patriote”. “Aggressions and terrorism from the far right are on the rise everywhere and the words of Millésime K clearly encourage it, it is time to stop them”, they denounced.
With more than 700,000 subscribers on TikTok, Millésime K is known for his songs close to far-right positions. His next concert is announced on April 8 in Paris.
