Jewish leaders in Britain have refused to meet Kanye West after the rapper offered to take part in talks ahead of his headline slot at Wireless Festival following backlash over his antisemitic comments.
Government ministers and Jewish groups have said organisers of the London festival should be “ashamed” for inviting the US rapper to headline all three days after he made a series of antisemitic statements last year. This included releasing a song called Heil Hitler and advertising a swastika T-shirt for sale on his website.
