Amid the ongoing row, Britain has blocked American rapper Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, from entering the country to perform at the Wireless Festival in London in July. For the unversed, the decision comes in the wake of the rapper's past antisemitic comments. 

UK PM denies entry to Kanye West

Ye had allegedly applied to travel to the UK via an Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) on Monday, but it was blocked by officials. The UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer posted a statement in this regard on his X account, saying, "Kanye West should never have been invited to headline Wireless. This government stands firmly with the Jewish community, and we will not stop in our fight to confront and defeat the poison of antisemitism. We will always take the action necessary to protect the public and uphold our values."
