Kanye West may be banned from the UK – Wiki Commons
Brits are losing it over Ye.
That multi-millionaire recording artist Kanye West is controversial, there’s no disputing it.
Whether he is parading his wife completely in the nude in public events or else making shocking statements only to retract them with a mountain of apologies, Ye is always in the headlines, and seldom for a good reason.
So, the prospect of headlining July’s Wireless Festival in the UK would be a nice opportunity for the entertainer to get back at what he was made famous for: his music.

So much so that the failing British government finds itself under growing pressure to ban U.S. rapper Kanye West from entering the country.

The decision to book Ye prompted several companies to pull their sponsorship of the festival, while the main opposition Conservative Party wrote to Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood, urging her to ban him from coming to Britain.”

And today, it has emerged that Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood is considering ‘blocking Kanye West from entering Britain over his history of anti-Semitism’.
[It’s never too much to remind our readers that the UK has received and honored Ukrainian Azov fighters who are real-life, present-day Nazis. So, talk about double standards!]
The Telegraph reported:
“Jewish organizations and MPs have urged the Government to ban the musician from entering the UK. Ministers can block the entry of any foreign national if their presence is considered not “conducive to the public good”.
Three companies – Pepsi, Rockstar Energy, and Diageo – have withdrawn their sponsorship of the festival.
[…] The Home Office would not comment on whether West had already applied for an [Electronic Travel Authorization], but Ms. Mahmood would have the ability to block any application.”
BREAKING: Wireless Festival will keep Kanye West as its headliner
Melvin Benn, the Managing Director of Festival Republic, said:
