On April 5th, Pepsi just dropped a bombshell by ending its over-decade long sponsorship of London's wireless festival, all because YA way is set to. Headlined the event from July 10th to 12th in 2026. This comes right after UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer slammed the booking, calling it deeply concerning given YA's history with anti-Semitic remarks, and what he described as celebrating Nazism. YA-Y, once Kanye West has faced non-stop backlash for years over racist and anti-Semitic comments, losing big deals with brands like Adidas and Balenciaga plus his talent agency.
