KEHLANI CANCELED FROM UNIVERSITY PERFORMANCE OVER 'ANTISEMITIC' VIEWS

Kehlani‘s upcoming performance at Cornell University has been canceled due to what the school is calling her “antisemitic” views.

The singer has been an outspoken advocate for Palestine during the current war with Israel with her views now appearing to affect her career after she was pulled from a May 7 appearance at the university.

According to The New York Times, the decision was made by Cornell president Michael I. Kotlikoff who sent an email to staff and students.

It read in part: “In the days since Kehlani was announced, I have heard grave concerns from our community that many are angry, hurt and confused that Slope Day would feature a performer who has espoused antisemitic, anti-Israel sentiments in performances, videos and on social media.”
