Ye's Wireless Festival Headline in Jeopardy

0:00It's April 7th. This is Canada News today, powered by AI. I'm Cory with the story. YA way set to headline, London's wireless festival from July 10th to 12th, drawing about 150,000 fans to Finn's Berry Park. But at top UK government official, just shut that down hard, saying he should absolutely not perform there. This comes right after why AY offered to sit down with Britain's Jewish community to prove he's turned a corner since his anti-Semitic rants. Earlier this year, the 48-year-old rapper, who dropped the Kanye West name back in 2021, ran a full-page apology ad blaming his, by a polar disorder for a manic episode. Still, his history includes praising Hitler, dropping a track called Heil Hitler, and selling swastika shirts, which tanked his rep big time. Sponsors like Pepsi, Rockstar Energy, and Diagio all bounced from the fest once he was announced. And even Prime Minister Keir Starmer called the, booking deeply troubling.

1:01The head of British Jews said they talked to YA way, but only if he skips the show first to show real remorse. Festival bosses are holding firm, insisting it's just about him spitting radio hits, million stream daily, not pushing any agenda. They even nodded to the home secretary's power to yank his visa, saying if that happens, problem solved. Meanwhile, the health secretary slammed their stances absurd, and talks of a full UK entry ban are heating up. YA ways camp when quiet on follow-ups, so we'll see if actions match his words, or if the gig gets axed before the gates open.
