UK blocks rapper Kanye West from entry over anti-Semitism and Nazi support

The United Kingdom has blocked entry to American rapper Kanye West, citing his anti-Semitic comments and celebrations of Nazism. West, who applied for a visa to perform at the Wireless Festival in London, saw the event canceled with refunds announced for ticket holders. Despite his willingness to meet with the British Jewish community to discuss his actions, the government deemed his presence not conducive to the public good.
