Chris Blake Griffith, the sports and culture marketing executive who’s in a legal tug-of-war with Stefon Diggs, is alleging that another man is suing the NFL free agent. During his interview with The Danza Project, he claims that Nigel King, who may or may not be another NFL receiver, is the latest alleged victim.

In the clip caught by Akademiks TV, Chris Blake Griffith alleges that he’s seen the “claims” King has brought forth. He doesn’t get into details really, but he does allege that like him, King was allegedly nearly killed.

Additionally, he alleges that King’s alleged lawsuit cites Darez Diggs and Charlie “Chap” Jordan. If you remember, these are the same two men who allegedly tried to take Griffith’s life.

Moreover, Griffith alleges he saw the video footage of King’s alleged attack and noticed right away that Darez and Charlie were indeed involved. He alleges the giveaway was their hairstyles as they were the same from when they allegedly assaulted him.

Right now, we suggest you take Griffith’s claims with a grain of salt. There seems to be little to no information on this alleged case.

Stefon Diggs Released By Patriots

There’s a chance there’s some validity to his claims, but they are slim. Griffith could be referring to this case reported on by TMZ. In early February, the outlet shared a lawsuit that was filed by a man claiming to be an ex-employee of Diggs.

He was in charge of transporting a Ferrari owned by the Pro Bowl pass catcher in 2024. The man claimed that police deduced the car was stolen by third parties. However, Diggs allegedly spread the word that this person was the one responsible.

Things eventually escalated with folks in Diggs’ circle allegedly confronting him on multiple occasions. But tensions allegedly boiled over in December 2025. It was then that he was allegedly assaulted at Tootsie’s Cabaret in Miami by two guys from Diggs’ circle—suffering a torn ACL and other injuries. Diggs’ other brother, Trevon, allegedly watched it go down and did nothing.

Overall, while this may not be true, it certainly doesn’t really aid Stefon. On top of his legal issues and split from Cardi B, the New England Patriots released him after just one season. It happened in early March and as of yet, he hasn’t latched onto another roster.

It’s unfortunate as he helped the team reach the Super Bowl this past season. He was also just a year into his three-year, $63.5 million contract.

Lizzo Admits She Remained A Virgin Until Winning A Grammy https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/986937-lizzo-remained-virgin-winning-grammy Wed, 01 Apr 2026 21:45:10 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=986937 Lizzo also revealed that tons of hip-hop artists popped up in her DMs after she won a Grammy Award in 2020.

Lizzo says that she made a promise with herself to remain a virgin until winning a Grammy Award. She reflected on her love life during a new appearance on the Friends Keep Secrets podcast with Benny Blanco and Lil Dicky. She won her first award for best urban contemporary album with Cuz I Love You in 2020.

The conversation began with her describing herself as a “late bloomer.” “Isn’t that crazy? … I wasn’t even thinking about it. For me, I just promised myself when I was younger that I wouldn’t have sex until I won a Grammy,” she explained. When Lil Dicky asked if she would’ve stuck to the promise if she hadn’t won a Grammy by now, she remarked: “Who knows?”

Lizzo also recalled having her first kiss at 21 years old. “When we were teenagers at my church, we all made a pact that we wouldn’t do anything before marriage,” she said. “And then, I was just so scared. No one wanted to kiss me.” She added that the kiss, “was terrible. It was a New Year’s Eve thing and he, like, forced it on me,” she said. “I was really mad and I was like, ‘My first kiss is ruined!’”

Once Lizzo achieved Grammy success, she says that tons of hip-hop artists began sliding into her DMs.  “I was really confused,” she admitted. “Mind you, I grew up a big girl and I grew up like, guys didn’t like me like that. Where I grew up, if you were fat, you were ugly, which, that’s not true. Fat doesn’t equal ugly, but where I grew up, that’s what it was. So, I was kind of invisible to all the guys. No one liked me in high school. One guy liked me in high school, and he was like, so ashamed that he would pass me notes. ‘Come and hook up with me at this place,” and I was like, ‘No, I’m not gonna do that. What the f*ck is wrong with you.'”

Lizzo continued: “When all this shifted, and I started getting these DMs, I was confused. I was like, ‘I don’t even know what this person’s intention is. I thought it was all friendly. People had to tell me, ‘Hey, no. This person is trying to f*ck you.’ I was like, ‘What?’ I’m so oblivious.”

Ye’s “Bully” Arrives Amid Kanye West Praise & Fatigue https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/986352-ye-bully-kanye-praise-fatigue Wed, 01 Apr 2026 21:39:52 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=986352 Ye is still drawing applause, but "Bully" lands during ongoing controversies that continue to complicate how listeners engage with his music.

The post Ye’s “Bully” Arrives Amid Kanye West Praise & Fatigue appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

]]>
There was a time when a Kanye West release felt like a welcome interruption. Whether you loved or rejected it, engagement was unavoidable. Fans and critics argued in real time, debating whether each new project belonged alongside his earlier work, especially his still-unmatched debut, The College Dropout. Praise often entered the conversation before the music had time to settle. His albums didn’t just arrive, they demanded response. That reaction has noticeably shifted in recent years.

This isn’t to say West, now moving as Ye, no longer commands attention. The release of his latest effort, Bully, has still generated headlines and pulled listeners in out of curiosity or loyalty. However, the energy surrounding the music feels different. Early reactions point to a production that embraces the tension that once defined his work, with applause ringing from Ye’s peers.

Yet Hip Hop fans have also expressed that the writing doesn’t invite the same kind of dissection. For an artist long regarded as one of Hip Hop’s most influential artists, Bully lands with a massive rollout and impressive numbers, but lacks the fanfare. Some attribute this to Kanye West fatigue, stemming from the barrage of controversial incidents that have cast a shadow over his releases, if not his legacy.

That matters more than any individual review. Outrage keeps an artist in conversation, and indifference removes them from it. Right now, the culture doesn’t sound angry with Kanye. It sounds tired.

The Pattern We Can’t Ignore

Any conversation about Kanye West that begins and ends with the music is incomplete. At this point, it reads as avoidance. The pattern, unforgiving to many, is documented and spans years, far back to his days of declaring that “George Bush doesn’t care about Black people” in response to the devastation of Hurricane Katrina.

During a TMZ Live interview in 2018, Ye described slavery as “a choice,” a statement that sparked immediate backlash and forced a public reckoning around how he was engaging with Black history. That same year, his alignment with Donald Trump became more visible, from wearing the red MAGA hat to his Oval Office appearance, where he delivered a surreal, freewheeling monologue that continues to haunt him.

By 2020, during his presidential campaign rallies, he made deeply personal and distressing revelations about his family, including comments about a near-abortion involving Kim Kardashian. Those moments blurred the line between political theater and private harm, with millions watching in real time.

Then came 2022, the year that moved everything. In October, he wore a “White Lives Matter” shirt at his Yeezy fashion show in Paris, a slogan that was a white supremacist phrase created in reaction to Black Lives Matter. Around the same period, he posted and deleted comments criticizing BLM.

He posted that he was going “death con 3 on Jewish people,” a statement that led to widespread condemnation and the loss of major partnerships, including Adidas and Balenciaga. In interviews that followed, he did not retreat but escalated. On Alex Jones’ platform, he openly praised Hitler, while seated in a full face covering that evoked extremist imagery. Around the same time, he circulated swastika fashion designs, further pounding the intent behind the rhetoric. Prior to this, West had dined at Mar-a-Lago with Donald Trump and Nick Fuentes, a Holocaust denier and white supremacist, aligning himself not only with inflammatory language but with far-right figures and platforms that traffic in that ideology.

Then, the public harassment of ex-wife Kim Kardashian has also been ongoing, particularly throughout 2022, during her relationship with Pete Davidson. There were social media posts, music videos, interviews, and public statements targeting both of them in ways that felt obsessive and, at times, threatening.

None of these moments exists in isolation. They build on each other. Now, audiences, including fans who have held down the Ye fort for decades, are expected to dismiss the behavior and keep pushing toward the music.

That accumulation is what shifts the conversation, because this is no longer about a headline or a misunderstanding. It is about a sustained, visible pattern of behavior that continues to unfold, with little evidence of interruption or accountability. People are responding to that, not just the individual incidents.

Hip Hop Has Forgiven Before

Still, Hip Hop has never required perfection from its stars. History shows that the culture will make room, even when that contradiction is uncomfortable. Chris Brown remains one of the clearest examples. After his 2009 conviction for assaulting Rihanna, his career did not disappear but recalibrated. Over time, a loyal fanbase allowed him to maintain relevance, even after ex-girlfriend Karrueche Tran accused him of physical abuse, and there have been allegations of violent behavior throughout his career. The incidents never left his name, but they also never stopped his momentum.

The late XXXTentacion faced serious abuse allegations before his death. However, he also built a following that connected deeply to his vulnerability and sound. After he was killed in 2018, that connection intensified. Collective grief changed the conversation. For many fans, the music became the focus, and the allegations receded into the background.

Then there is Kodak Black, who exists in a space where controversy and support move side by side. After pleading guilty to sexual assault in a 2016 case, his career continued with visible industry backing, including a federal pardon in 2021. Despite his unhinged behavior that has concerned some of his peers, audiences have seemed to set his problematic behaviors and history aside.

Then there is Dr. Dre, whose past includes admitted violence against women, including the assault of journalist Dee Barnes in the early 1990s. That history did not disappear, but it became secondary to his legacy as a producer, executive, game-changer, and architect of West Coast Hip Hop. His influence crafted how his past was remembered, or overlooked.

Each of these cases reveals something specific about how the culture processes harm. Time plays a role, and output matters. Further, loyalty carries weight. In some cases, the music creates enough distance for listeners to compartmentalize what they know from what they hear. Forgiveness in Hip Hop is rarely formal. It is negotiated, quietly, through continued engagement.

From Kanye To Ye, And What We Lost Along The Way

Meanwhile, West has always made music in conversation with his own mythology. Each era carried its own set of tensions, and for a long time, the work was strong enough to hold them.

The College Dropout introduced him as self-aware and defiant, a producer-rapper pushing against industry expectations. By Graduation, he was chasing scale, competing with stadium Rap, and redefining what mainstream success could look like. Then came 808s & Heartbreak, where grief and emotional fracture reshaped his sound after the death of his mother in 2007. That openness expanded further on My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, a project built in the aftermath of the 2009 VMAs incident and breakup with Amber Rose.

Even his more chaotic periods produced work that demanded attention. Yeezus arrived abrasive and confrontational, leaning into his public image as a disruptor. The Life of Pablo felt unfinished and alive at the same time, mirroring a mind that refused to be still. There were controversies in each era, ego, outbursts, and public missteps, but the music kept reframing the narrative. It gave context and a reason to stay.

However, what changed is not just the behavior. It’s the balance. Donda arrived in 2021, and the spectacles had started to eclipse the substance. The listening events were grand, and in true Ye fashion, symbolic, but the music itself felt uneven. Still, there was enough there for listeners who wanted to hold on and argue for his place. Bully arrives without that cushion.

It doesn’t reframe him nor challenge the narrative that has been built around him over the last several years. Instead, it sits inside it. That makes the listening experience different. You’re not encountering an artist rewriting his story. You’re hearing music that exists alongside everything people now associate with his name, from antisemitism to far-right policies to White Lives Matter to social media posts and calling out his family and former friends, to spiraling in front of a global audience. That, from Kanye West as a cultural force to Ye as a figure defined by his own turmoil, has changed the terms of engagement.

Read More: Bully – Album by Kanye West

The question isn’t whether the art can be separated from the artist. That debate assumes the art is still pulling its weight. What Bully exposes is something quieter and more final. The audience has already started to pull away. So, the question becomes less about forgiveness and more about distance. He’s recently arrived with apologies for his outlandish, offensive behavior—but have we forgiven Kanye West? Do we have to? Does it matter in the grand scheme?

Forgiveness suggests a moment. It’s a reckoning after acknowledging harm, followed by some form of repair. That moment has never clearly arrived. There has been no sustained pause or language that signals reflection. Aside from sitting with a rabbi to say I’m sorry, there’s no attempt to reconcile with the weight of what has been said and done. What has happened instead feels more passive, especially given the state of global affairs both inside and outside the U.S.

Some listeners have disengaged without announcement. They no longer check for the music or defend him in conversation. Others remain, but with a different posture. There’s less enthusiasm, but there is still a segment that continues to support him fully, framing his behavior as provocation or the byproduct of something deeper.

Ye’s legacy is already secured, and what he’s built will never disappear. What remains uncertain is his relationship to the present. That divide tells its own story, because what we’re witnessing may not be forgiveness at all. A slow, collective recalibration where the culture decides, individually and quietly, how much access it is willing to give him. A comeback not only makes people listen again, but it also makes them care about what’s being created. At the moment, audiences don’t seem to have decided on whether it still does until reconciling his past becomes more than a suggestion.

DJ Akademiks says that he’s worried for Young Thug after the rapper allegedly got into an altercation with Charleston White at Druski’s “Coulda Been Love” reunion over the weekend. He explained his reasoning during a recent livestream.

“I’m worried for King Slime,” he began. “The reason that I’m worried for him is that I fear that him linking up with– I don’t know whose Bonnie and whose Clyde, but I think him and Lil Baby are trying to be Bonnie and Clyde. Why am I saying that? Because I know some of you are like, ‘Ak, you just don’t like Baby.’ No. There are several instances that have been reported or rumored that, in the last about three weeks, Young Thug and Lil Baby are moving around in a way that seems to be in congruence with thinking that they’re back on Bleveland Avenue. I’m telling you this as a fact. Thug was rolling with businessmen since he got out of jail. He didn’t want to go back. But, ever since he linked back up with his passenger princess, he’s back on bad timing.”

He continued: “I’m not trying to incriminate anyone. I’m saying this if y’all are the same people who are always crying tears when n****s get locked up, this is the time where we hold them accountable and to switch it up. If we can tell that y’all are doing bullsh*t, I’m pretty sure law enforcement can tell y’all doing bullsh*t.”

Young Thug & Charleston White’s Altercation

The drama between Young Thug and Charleston White went public on social media, over the weekend, with White alleging that Thug and his entourage threatened him. “Young Thug and his goons threatened Unc life and tried to attack him,” he claimed. He added that he intends to pursue legal action. Thug has yet to address the situation.

Thug finally got out of jail in the YSL RICO case back in 2024. He had spent over two years behind bars. To get out, he accepted a plea deal with 15 years of probation attached.

First Week Sales Projections For Kanye West’s “Bully” Come In Well Below Expectations https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/986914-first-week-sales-bully-below-predictions Wed, 01 Apr 2026 20:42:38 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=986914 Kanye West's "Bully" was receiving some pretty strong first week sales projections, but a new update has quelled expectations.

The post First Week Sales Projections For Kanye West’s “Bully” Come In Well Below Expectations appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

]]>
Kanye West’s Bully was receiving some good news on the first week sales projections front earlier this week. Early reports were sharing that the album was on track to move around 250K-275K units. However, thanks to a new update from HITS Daily Double caught by Kurrco, expectations from Ye’s fans will need to come down.

While it was most likely going to debut at number one next week with those initial predictions, it’s now more reasonable that it will come into the Hot 200 chart at number two. Subsequently, the sales figure is way under.

Bully is looking like it will move 117,000 copies, with 20,000 of them coming from physical units. Previously, the latter figure was at 100,000.

K-pop supergroup BTS is now poised to premiere at the top spot. Their new album, ARIRANG is projected to sell 170,000 (120,000 pure). For those curious, Yeat’s ADL seems poised to chart within the top five at number five with 80K (45K pure).

Ye fans are bit confused and calling the reports fake in the comments section. Ultimately, we will just have to wait and see what happens early next week. Sometimes, physical copy orders aren’t able to reach customers in time before the deadline.

Kanye West Wireless Festival

However, with there being such a steep drop-off, there could be some other factors such as a major miscount.

Overall, Kanye West’s Bully is polarizing musically and because of the person behind the art. It seems like most fans of his are doing all they can to keep him in the mainstream, whereas others are ready for the rapper to really take some time to reflect and reset.

Unfortunately, the people in the latter camp aren’t getting that wish as he’s got plenty of shows coming up. One of which is his triple-headlining run at Wireless Festival this July. Like Drake last year, he’ll the sole focus for 2026.

He will be on the Finsbury Park stage from the 10th to the 12th.

His booking has unsurprisingly been controversial, especially with London officials and the Jewish community.

The post YNW Melly Refuses To Attend His Latest Status Hearing appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

YNW Melly refused to appear in court on Tuesday for a status hearing regarding the scheduling of another motion pertaining to the conditions of his pretrial release, according to NBC Miami. In the courtroom, the judge set April 30 as the date for which the rapper and his legal team will present their argument for getting out on bond. The move comes after prosecutors dropped several charges against him.

The charges include tampering with a witness, directing activities of a criminal gang, criminal solicitation to commit murder, and conspiracy to tamper with a witness on a capital felony. Authorities originally arrested him for double-murder back in 2019, alleging that he killed YMW Juvy and YNW Sakchaser. The case resulted in a mistrial in 2023. The dropped charges pertained to allegations that Melly tried to convince a witness not to take the stand in the trial.

Melly’s attorneys, Drew Findling and Carol Haughwout, reacted to the state dropping the charges in a statement provided to XXL back in January. “On behalf of Jamell Demons, we welcome the dismissal of the alleged tampering and gang-related charges in court this morning,” they wrote at the time. “As his newly retained legal team, it became immediately apparent to us that no crimes had occurred. Unfortunately, for 652 days while these charges were pending, the State did not reach the same conclusion until the cusp of trial.”

“We now look forward to seeking Mr. Demons’ release from custody, where he has been held under extraordinarily restrictive conditions for far too long based on premises the State has now abandoned,” the statement concluded.

YNW Melly’s Trial Date

Last month, Melly’s legal team filed their fourth attempt at getting Melly out of jail. In doing so, they cited the alleged “emergence of additional evidence.” They also claimed that he has “endured flagrantly restrictive, dehumanizing conditions in pretrial detention.” As of now, Melly’s trial will commence in January of 2027.

Joe Budden called out Tyrese on the latest episode of his podcast after the singer traded shots with him on social media, earlier this week. In doing so, Budden said that Tyrese is still a friend and always welcome on the show, but warned him against calling him out in public.

Budden began by saying that Tyrese is “always welcome up here anytime.” He continued: “Tyrese is a friend of the show, even through the jokes, even through his performative sh*t that’s he’s doing online that made my mom call me. ‘Why’s Tyrese saying mean things about you?’ Now I gotta do all that, ‘Ma, don’t pay no mind. Tyrese is cool. Everything is fine.'”

From there, he grew more agitated, adding: “You been crying about paying some f*cking child support for 12 years. That sounds tender to me. Pay that and call it a day. I had you up here as a friend. I had a good heart trying to get your child support lowered while you spent three hours beating me down about your baby momma.”

Despite getting angry, Budden reiterated, “I love Tyrese. He’s my man. Tyrese is my absolute man. I love him. He can get the shirt off my back, but he’s psycho, and when he doesn’t take his meds, somebody gotta pow pow him back into thinking correctly.”

In Tyrese’s Instagram posts, he referred to Budden as “tender” and accused him of siding with Tank, with whom he recently squared off on Verzuz. Their battle went down, last week, with Budden saying Tank won the matchup.

“I’m in NYC this week… don’t talk about me, Joe… talk to me, Joe. I’m always ready for a real conversation,” Tyrese added in another post. He continued: “I know you’re Team Tank… and I could care less about you ever being Team Tyrese again. I’m clear that you’re an Uber R&B head, but you’re still a rap n**** who just hosts a podcast and can’t hold a single note tt, So Mr. Open Toe Flip Flop Tender Budden, if you would have me on… I’m ready to have an open R&B dialogue.”

A video recorded by 2 Chainz is going viral today after a woman angrily confronted him while they were both driving. While at a red light, the Atlanta rapper was being accused of owing this woman’s dad money. It’s kind of hard to make out what she’s saying in the video (caught by No Jumper) as his window was up.

But 2 Chainz’s caption confirms that’s what this woman was saying to him. “Who J a*s daughter this is tryin to drive me off the road,” he wrote on his Instagram. Later into the clip, when the light turns green, she attempts to run him off the street, nearly hitting him in the process.

He continues, “ho talking bout I owe her daddy some money in Albany and throwing my son name around[.] Bout put fy on her and her daddy.”

On top of her allegations and road rage, the woman directed her bare feet at him and gave him the middle finger quite a few times.

Folks in the hitmaker’s comments section are getting a good laugh out of Tity Boi’s post. “[three laughing emojis] she mad mad idk what happened but she think she really know you,” one user replies.

Others had jokes about it being the perfect audio for a song on his next album. “Sounds like an intro to a new song,” another writes.

Conversely, folks underneath No Jumper‘s repost feel this woman is telling the truth. “Nahhh I believe her [laughing emoji] he should’ve paid that lady her daddy’s money RIGHT then and there!” A second netizen echoes, “Yeahhh she know him , she definitely knows him and he knows that [three laughing emojis].”

It will be interesting to see how this situation unfolds, if it does at all.

In other news surrounding 2 Chainz, the “Watch Out” MC is getting ready to go on tour. Starting on June 30, he will be opening for longtime collaborator Lil Wayne as he celebrates 20 years of Tha Carter series. The Game is also on the slate, and both rappers will be taking turns opening during this 20+ date run. It concludes on October 23.

Drake recently reacted to a viral video of a fan describing him as “corny” while calling into the First Class Podcast. In the clip, the caller says: “I think Drake is a very corny man, and these lyrics further validate his corniness. But I do enjoy this song, and will listen to it sometime.” Drake ended up sharing a clip of the woman’s comments on his Instagram Story, adding: “I like her style…”

In making her argument, the woman brings up the song, “Gyalchester,” off of Drake’s 2017 project, More Life. “In one of his verses, he exclaims, ‘I don’t take naps.’ And he says it kind of defensively. He says it almost as if someone saw him yawn and they were like, ‘Drake, if you’re tired, you should go take a nap.’ And he just, like, snaps. He’s like, ‘I don’t take naps.’ But by the sound of it, he probably should take a nap,” she says.

“And then he says, ‘Me and the money are way too attached to go and do that / Muscle relax / That and the spliff put me right on my back.’ So as a listener, we’re assuming he took some pain pills, and he smoked some weed, and he fell asleep, but he just said he don’t take naps. So what are we supposed to believe at this point?” she adds.

Drake’s “Iceman” Album

The interaction comes as Drake is currently working on his long-awaited ninth solo studio album, Iceman. While he’s yet to confirm a release date, the Toronto rapper has already shared several singles from the project. They include “What Did I Miss?”, “Which One” featuring Central Cee, and “Dog House” featuring Yeat and Julia Wolf.

On Sunday, he filmed a video tribute for Nelly Furtado, who was being inducted into the Canadian Hall of Fame at the Juno Awards, and in doing so, hinted that Iceman is “coming soon.” He has previously said that it will drop at some point in 2026.

While hardcore Kanye West fans seem to be enjoying his new album Bully, most of the general public isn’t. That includes major review publications such as Pitchfork. They are notably pretty critical and have given some controversial scores to fan-favorite hip-hop albums over the years.

But for the majority of folks who listened to Ye’s twelfth album, they are in agreement with Pitchfork‘s 3.4/10 score. That, however, cannot be said for the distributor of Bully, gamma. It’s not surprising to see them defending the record, but their response to the outlet is what’s really garnering attention.

Caught by Kurrco, they took to their social media with a fiery response. “Is this an April Fools Joke?” they begin.

“We didn’t know Pitchfork still existed btw after they gave Lana Del Rey’s Born to Die a 5/10 after it came out and retracted it after it became the Billboard biggest selling/longest running female debut album of all-time;).”

Ye fans (or Pitchfork detractors) are piling on in the comments section. “They a bunch a frauds anyways [laughing emoji],” one person writes. “Nobody cares about that attention seeking page…. They are irrelevant,” adds another.

A third shows their support for Ye’s partner. “This is why I stan Gamma.”

Kanye West Wireless Festival Backlash

Overall, it seems like the Chicago rapper’s supporters are going to defend him tooth and nail once again. It may be their most difficult challenge yet, given his lengthy string of Antisemitic remarks and how much backlash he’s facing elsewhere. What we mean is, his fans aren’t just debating about the quality of music anymore.

They are also swearing that Ye deserves to be in the clear from his past.

That latter point will be hard to challenge as him being selected as the Wireless Festival’s headliner for their 2026 run is not receiving a lot of thumbs up.

London’s mayor, Sadiq Khan, didn’t agree with the organizers’ decision to select someone who’s transgressions are still pretty fresh. “We are clear the past comments/actions of this artist are offensive and wrong and are simply not reflective of London’s values… This was a decision taken by the festival organizers and not one City Hall is involved in,” a rep for Khan said.

Similarly, the Jewish Leadership Council is also upset over this choice. “It is deeply irresponsible for Wireless Festival to be headlining Kanye West. The UK Jewish community is facing record levels of antisemitism, including a terrorist attack in Manchester, the attack on ambulances in Golders Green and foiled plots which would have killed many more,” they said in part.
