Kanye's Wireless Festival Headline Under Fire

0:00On April 6, Kanye West is lined up to headline London's wireless festival this July, but the UK government is ramping up pressure to shut it down over his past controversial statements. Prime Minister Kier Starmer slammed the festival's choice on Sunday, saying organizers need to drop Kanye now, or the home secretary could step in, and block his entry just like with hate preachers. Kier's Morgan jumped in too. Calling Kanye's remarks disqualifying for any stage, while sponsors are fleeing, Pepsi already pulled its support. This comes right after Kanye's big sofa stadium show last week, his first LA gig since 2021, which pooled in $18 million, despite cancel calls there too. Festival bosses face a narrow window to act as more backlash builds, leaving everyone watching what happens next.
