Recently, organizers in Slovakia canceled an event that was set to host Kanye West.
However, the festival host has now clarified that the Chicago rap star's performance will go ahead in Prague in September.

Moreover, the venue that the festival decided to hold the rap fest at, as reported by Slovak media, was not ready.
Not to mention, the Company RV, the event's organizers reportedly owed €1.1 million to Pop Out Entertainment for the services they provided.
It is relevant to mention that Kanye was set to perform in Prague in 2008, but he opted out for unclear reasons.
