Kanye West has said he "would be grateful" to meet members of the Jewish community in the UK after controversy over his headline booking at this year's Wireless Festival. The controversial rapper has caused outrage for antisemitic and pro-Nazi comments in recent years, including the release of a song called Heil Hitler and selling swastika T-shirts. In a statement, he said: "My only goal is to come to London and present a show of change, bringing unity, peace, and love through my music”. The festival’s director Melvin Benn defended the decision to make West a headliner, encouraging people to offer the rapper "forgiveness”. However, Phil Rosenberg, president of the Board of Deputies of British Jews, said that the Wireless boss's statement "will not reassure many within the Jewish or other communities".
