Kanye West has been blocked from travelling to the UK to headline Wireless Festival after a row over his antisemitic comments.
It is understood ministers blocked his travel because his presence in the country would not be conducive to the public good.
It comes after Jewish leaders refused to meet the rapper after he offered to take part in talks, with the Jewish Leadership Council telling Wireless organisers they would not help “save their festival”.
Government ministers and Jewish groups have said organisers of the London festival should be “ashamed” for inviting the US rapper to headline all three days after he made a series of antisemitic statements last year. This included releasing a song called Heil Hitler and advertising a swastika T-shirt for sale on his website.
