British rapper Wiley apologised Wednesday for 'generalising' but refused to distance himself completely from anti-Semitic posts that got him permanently banned by Twitter.
Wiley told Sky News after the social media platform made its temporary suspension of the artist permanent.
The 41-year-old east Londoner, born Richard Cowie but known to his fans as the “Godfather of Grime”, is one of the most popular and successful British rappers. Wiley is credit for helping the genre spread from London and reach global fame with artists such as Stormzy. British police said they were investigating some of his statements and interior minister Priti Patel called his posts “abhorrent”.
