UK in Turmoil Over Kanye West Headlining Music Festival – Brands Are Withdrawing Sponsorships, and Home Office Wants to BAN Him
Brits are losing it over Ye.
That multi-millionaire recording artist Kanye West is controversial, there’s no disputing it.
Whether he is parading his wife completely in the nude in public events or else making shocking statements only to retract them with a mountain of apologies, Ye is always in the headlines, and seldom for a good reason.
So, the prospect of headlining July’s Wireless Festival in the UK would be a nice opportunity for the entertainer to get back at what he was made famous for: his music.
Except for the fact that the news of his participation has put the UK in turmoil.
So much so that the failing British government finds itself under growing pressure to ban U.S. rapper Kanye West from entering the country.

And today, it has emerged that Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood is considering ‘blocking Kanye West from entering Britain over his history of anti-Semitism’.

The Telegraph reported:
“Jewish organizations and MPs have urged the Government to ban the musician from entering the UK. Ministers can block the entry of any foreign national if their presence is considered not “conducive to the public good”.
Three companies – Pepsi, Rockstar Energy, and Diageo – have withdrawn their sponsorship of the festival.
[…] The Home Office would not comment on whether West had already applied for an [Electronic Travel Authorization], but Ms. Mahmood would have the ability to block any application.”
Melvin Benn, the Managing Director of Festival Republic, said:
“I am a deeply committed anti-fascist and have been all my adult life. I lived on a kibbutz for many months in the 1970’s that was attacked on…
