Ye's Wireless Festival Booking Sparks Backlash

0:00On April 7th, Huawei set to headline all three nights of London's wireless festival from July 10th through 12th in Finsbury Park, but his history of anti-submitted comments has sparked massive backlash right from the announcement on March 30th. Sponsors like Pepsi, Diagio, PayPal, and Rockstar Energy pulled out over the weekend, while big names including Mayor Sadiq Khan and Prime Minister, Keir Starmer called the booking deeply traveling. Several bosses at Festival Republic slammed Huawei's past remarks as abhorrent, yet they're keeping him on stage, saying it'll just be his radio hits. Enjoyed by millions, no so-box for opinions. Earlier this week, Huawei updated his open letter to apologize again and offered to meet UK Jewish leaders face to face to hear them out. Now the board of deputies of British Jews fired back, pointing to his recent tracks like Hyal Hitler and Gas Chamber and said they're open to a, sit down as part of his healing, but only if he skips the festival this year to prove he's for real.
