Die britische Regierung hat heute US-Rapper Kanye West die Einreise nach Großbritannien verweigert. Seine Anwesenheit sei nicht im öffentlichen Interesse, wurde der Schritt laut BBC begründet. Im Vorfeld war es zu Kontroversen über seine Buchung als Headliner beim Wireless-Musikfestival in London gekommen. Die Organisatoren bestätigten inzwischen das Einreiseverbot und teilten mit, dass das gesamte dreitägige Festival im Juli abgesagt werde. West hatte in den vergangenen Jahren wiederholt mit antisemitischen Äußerungen empört.
