8:10 AM PT — UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer issued a statement on X … “Kanye West should have never been invited to headline Wireless.”<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n 6:33 AM PT — London’s Wireless Festival has been canceled, the organization announced on Instagram following the news Ye<\/a>‘s been banned from entering the United Kingdom.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n More drama coming down the pike for Ye, the rapper formerly known as Kanye West<\/a>. Not only are sponsors dropping out of the London festival he’s scheduled to headline … he can’t even enter the country!<\/p>\n Ye had his visa withdrawn by the UK government, according to The Guardian<\/a> … The UK Home Office — similar to the DHS in the U.S. — revoked his entry after it had initially been allowed.<\/p>\n The UK Prime Minister’s Office said … “Where individuals pose a threat to public safety or seek to spread extremism, the government has not hesitated to act, and that includes cancelling permission to enter this country for extremist preachers and far-right figures.\u201d<\/p>\n <\/p>\n As you know … the rapper has been criticized for antisemitic remarks he’s made<\/a>, which have gone as far as making a song called “Heil Hitler.”<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Ye apologized for some<\/a> of his behavior in a full-page ad in the Wall Street Journal, but that didn’t stop Pepsi<\/a> and others from yanking sponsorship<\/a> from London’s Wireless Festival scheduled for July after Ye was named as headliner.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"UK to Kanye West Ta Ta, Mate!!!
