CONTROVERSIAL rapper Kanye West asked to perform at Tottenham Hotspur’s stadium — but was turned down due to the club’s historical connection to London’s Jewish community.

It came after The Sun on Sunday revealed that Sir Keir Starmer said it was “deeply concerning” that West had been booked despite previously making antisemitic remarks, as well as glorifying the Nazi leader in his song Heil Hitler.
A source said: “Kanye’s team had wanted him to play a run of shows at Tottenham before they considered Wireless.

“There was no way they would allow Kanye to perform at the club given its history with the Jewish community.
“They then made the proposal to Wireless, which was accepted.”

Tonight Diaego, who own Captain Morgan rum and Johnnie Walker whisky, also pulled their sponsorship.
In a short statement a spokesperson said: “We have informed the organisers of our concerns and as it stands, Diageo will not sponsor the 2026 Wireless festival.”
West has previously apologised for his remarks and blamed them on his bipolar disorder.
