BEST GUIDE TO HIP HOP EVENTS, SHOWS & CONCERTS x SOCIAL NETWORK
A music festival booked Kanye West, now known as Ye, and lost major sponsors
Sponsors are exiting a major U.K. music festival and the country's prime minister has been critical after the influential rapper Ye was announced as the event's headliner.
The once widely revered musician and fashion impresario, formerly known as Kanye West, has gained notoriety over the years for his antisemitic comments and activities glorifying Nazis, including a 2025 song called "Heil Hitler" and selling swastika T-shirts on his clothing site.
Yet organizers announced last week that West would headline the Wireless Festival in North London for the entirety of its three-night run in July, invoking outrage from politicians and withdrawals from festival sponsors. Those include Diageo, the company that owns popular liquor brands such as Johnnie Walker and Captain Morgan.
