英国首相基尔·斯塔默表示，他对说唱歌手坎耶·韦斯特计划在伦敦举办的演唱会感到担忧。韦斯特曾多次发表反犹言论，还发行过一首名为《 Heil Hitler》（《 Heil 希特勒》）的歌曲。
这位现年48岁的嘻哈艺人近年来以“耶（Ye）”的艺名为人熟知，他将在今年夏天担任伦敦无线音乐节的主演出嘉宾。他计划于7月在这场说唱与R&B音乐节上连演三场，这也是他欧洲巡演的一部分。
斯塔默周六在接受《太阳报》采访时表示：“尽管坎耶·韦斯特此前曾发表反犹言论并美化纳粹主义，但他仍被邀请参演无线音乐节，这一情况令人深感不安。”
他补充道：“任何形式的反犹主义都令人发指，必须予以坚决抵制。”
据哥伦比亚广播公司的合作媒体英国广播公司新闻报道，原本是无线音乐节首席赞助商的百事公司表示，已“决定撤回对该活动的赞助”。但截至周日，该音乐节官网仍将百事列为主赞助商。正如英国广播公司新闻所指出的，音乐节官网的一则介绍还写道：“百事MAX是百事MAX呈现无线音乐节的长期合作伙伴，期待共同打造更多音乐时刻。”
据法新社报道，百事公司的母公司百事集团并未立即回应置评请求。
自音乐节主办方上月在社交媒体宣布演出阵容以来，犹太组织和伦敦市长萨迪克·汗就已对韦斯特的参演计划提出批评。
韦斯特欧洲巡演的其他场次也引发了争议。法国马赛市长表示，他“不受欢迎”参加6月在当地举办的演唱会。
韦斯特曾为自己的反犹言论道歉，称是自己的双相情感障碍导致了这些过激言论。
2025年5月，为纪念第二次世界大战中纳粹德国战败80周年，他发行了一首名为《 Heil Hitler》的歌曲。
这首歌遭到各大主流流媒体平台下架。
British Prime Minister criticizes London festival for booking Kanye West over his record of antisemitism

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer said he was concerned about planned concerts in London by rapper Kanye West, who has a history of antisemitic outbursts and released a song called “Heil Hitler.”
The 48-year-old hip-hop artist, who in recent years has become known just as Ye, is scheduled to headline the Wireless Festival in London this summer. His planned three-night engagement at the rap and R&B festival in July is part of a European tour.
Starmer told The Sun newspaper on Saturday that it was “deeply concerning Kanye West has been booked to perform at Wireless despite his previous antisemitic remarks and celebration of Nazism.”
He added that “antisemitism in any form is abhorrent and must be confronted firmly.”
Pepsi, which was originally the Wireless Festival’s main sponsor, said it has “decided to withdraw its sponsorship” of the event, CBS partner BBC News reported. But Pepsi was still listed as a headline sponsor on the festival’s website on Sunday. As BBC News noted, a description on the festival’s website also said: “Pepsi MAX are a long-standing partner of Pepsi MAX presents Wireless Festival and look forward to creating more musical moments together.”
PepsiCo, the parent company of Pepsi, did not immediately respond to a request for comment from AFP, according to the news outlet.
Jewish organizations and London Mayor Sadiq Khan have criticized West’s planned appearances at the festival since organizers announced it on social media last month.
Other legs of West’s European tour have proved controversial, too, with the mayor of Marseille in France saying he was “not welcome” for a concert there in June.
West has expressed regret over his antisemitic rants, which he blamed on his bipolar disorder.
In May 2025, he released a song called “Heil Hitler” to mark the 80th anniversary of the defeat of Nazi Germany in World War II.
The song was banned by major streaming platforms.
