The rap group Kneecap is facing backlash after video clips from concerts showed a member making controversial statements about political figures and groups. They have claimed these remarks were taken out of context to distract from larger issues such as the situation in Gaza. Following the controversy, Eden Sessions canceled their upcoming concert, stating ticket holders would be refunded. Despite the condemnation, Kneecap has stood by their message of inclusion and love, insisting that they do not incite violence against politicians.
Kneecap insists that their comments have been "exploited and weaponized," stating their message is one of love and inclusion, not incitement of violence.
The trio argues that the backlash led by Downing Street is an attempt to redirect focus away from important discussions regarding Gaza.
