Wiley is the latest figure to see swift backlash following anti-semitic remarks.
Following a series of tweets disparaging Jewish people as well as longtime foe Drake, who identifies as half-Jewish, the UK star was dropped by his management team, A-List Management.
“Following Wiley’s antisemitic tweets today we at A-List Management have cut all ties with him,” Wiley’s former manager John Woolf said. “There is no place in society for antisemitism.”
The anti-semetic backlash for Wiley comes weeks after Nick Cannon was fired from ViacomCBS over anti-semetic remarks he made during an episode of his Cannon’s CLass podcast with Professor Griff.
On Friday (July 24), Wiley sent out several tweets, including one liking the Jewish community to the Ku Klux Klan. “Ther are 2 sets of people who nobody has really wanted to challenge #Jewish & #KKK,” he wrote. “But being in business for 20 years you start to understand [sic] why … Red Necks Are the KKK and Jewish People are the Law…Work that out.”
He added, “Jewish people don’t care what black went through they just use us to make money to feed their kids…for generations as well.”
Several of Wiley’s tweets were removed for violating Twitter Rules but he continued, even bringing Drake‘s name into the conversation, alleging that the “system” was “set up perfectly” for someone like the Toronto rapper.
“Get that anti semetic bullshit out of here and take @drake with you on god,” he wrote. He later added, “Everything I am saying is the reason drake can’t have black excellence ….Ask Diddy or jay z.”
Drake Fires Back At Wiley's "Culture Vulture" Comment
Wiley’s longtime issues with Drake stem from when the UK grime artist called the Toronto rapper a “culture vulture” in 2019 for attending a show headlined by London-based rapper Loski.
“Culture vulture and pagan Strikes again,” the veteran artist tweeted.
Drake responded to the accusations in a BBC 1Xtra interview, calling it some “real confused hater shit.”
“I hate that people think that me being into music from these kids that are trying to make it and trying to build a name for themselves is like, ‘Oh, that’s some culture vulture,’” he said. “What does that even mean? I don’t understand what that means. Would you rather me not acknowledge anything or support?
“That’s some real confused hater shit. But, it is what it is. I see it a lot. I’ll never understand how supporting somebody’s song or even going a step further, giving somebody a song or linking up, I’ll never understand how that is not viewed as something admirable. But, I guess some people have their own outlook on it.”
He added, “It was Wiley that said that,” he noted. “I’ll just say his name ’cause that was some goofy shit. But, yeah, I just didn’t like that. Like, what you talking ’bout?”
Fox Music aka Universal Music Group will scoop him up… anti-semitic unite there
UMG’s chairman and CEO is Lucian Grainge. Go to his wikipedia page, read the very beginning of his ‘Early life and career’ part. (Hint: it says he is jooish)
I’m no fan of Drake by any means but who in the fuck is this “Wiley” bozo? Never heard of this british clown, probably for good reason. That uk rap is corny af.
They rap for good dental coverage lol
Lmao
dental is free to all residents of the UK
Then why are they’re teeth so messed up though? Not trying to be mean just curious?
It’s probably cause of the tea
Damn,I’m in the wrong country… Don’t have that in the US lol.
and US people rap for free gastric band surgery!!
Lmao, Wiley is called the Godfather of Grime because he is a founding father of an entire genre of music…Google is your friend.
Wtf is grime??
That’s some “greatest country in the world” bs there. You sound like an ignorant stereotype with your ‘British teeth’ comment. Jog on..
Wiley’s opinions and outbursts are definitely not something I agree with, but his music created a whole genre and whether you like it or not doesn’t make it good or bad. UK rap isn’t Grime anyway. Do a bit of research before you definitively decide that it’s crap. Dave’s PSYCHODRAMA got critical acclaim – definitely not corny.
Do they have rednecks and kkk in the UK? What’s a bogan?
I’ve been to Australia,and they use bogan the term “bogan” a lot. It pretty much is their version of poor, loudmouth, obnoxious headheaded trailer trash or rednecks that drive only Ford’s or Holden’s and are dumb as hell.
Our equivalent were groups like the ‘national front’ and a political party called the ‘british national party’. There were also politicians like Enoch Powell, who helped stock racial hatred and fear in the UK in the 1960s. Up until the 1980s many racist gangs in the UK used to chase and beat up black and asian folk (my uncle being one who suffered) and our most famous racist attack was the murder of Stephen Lawrence in 1993. More recently we have the ‘english defense league’ who do stoke racial tension but tend to focus more on the UK Muslim population (for now). There are police related deaths over here too. Christopher Adler, Kingsley Burrell, Simeon Francis and Mark Duggan are a few. (Sorry about the long explanation).

United Kingdom needs to get rid of these clowns. Keep your country white.
Joos aren’t white. There would be no non-whites in europe without the joos who demand open borders for white countries.
Stop lying
Stop lying!
Keep the UK white.
I’m not trying to defend this AT ALL but if this is the road society is going then let’s go all the way. On Two Birds, One Stone, Drake specifically dissed kid Cudi’s mental health and addiction as well as, in the past, did blackface and tried to make a lame excuse for it after failing to hide it which led to pusha t releasing The Story of Adidon. Let’s hold their feet to the fire too.
Lol you sound pussy AF. Was he too mean to Cudi for pointing out he ain’t that dude when he on Drugs? He wasn’t dissing Mental health that’s a bit of a stretch, If anything he’s promoting how corny that shit is. ” You stay Xan and perc’d up so when reality sets in you ain’t gotta face it”. That ain’t dissing Mental illness thats dissing Cudi’s drug abuse. It’s all fair game.
So drake diss Cudi on two birds, one stone and the mentions Pusha’s then fiancé on duppy freestyle, but when Pusha gave him a taste of his own medicine on The story of Adidon, Drake says the Pusha went too far. Funny how drake fans like you and dj akedemics will somehow defend him and not mention that all the stuff he’s done.
And don’t forget the other lyrics, “ Look what happens as soon as you talk to me crazy Is you crazy?” Which is funny because the song came out a few days after Cudi checked himself into rehab due to Depression and Suicidal urges. Don’t leave those parts out.
But remember that jooish supremacy is just a antisemitic conspiracy theory 😉 they are just a powerless poor persecuted minority!
Yeah. And if you claim otherwise they use all their power and influence to destroy you. Thus validating the conspiracy from theory to a reality. But hey, remember it’s white supremacists who control everything LMFAO
silver fucking spoon. drake is famous because of his race nothing to do with talent.
Word up
This wiley guy sounds like he’s having a meltdown lol. Lay off the tea and crumpets my dude.
That got an audible, my dude. haha
?????
So basically Wiley says 3rd Bass, Blood of Abraham, Beastie Boys, Alchemist, Killah priest, Action Bronson, Clipping, Your Old Droog, Necro, Ill Bill, Mack Miller, High & Mighty, Princess Superstar and Kendrick Lamar are wack too.
What??
They all joos. Every single one of them.
You lost me at Kendrick
Don’t forget Shyne lol
Y’all gone fuck around and get us all hit with the c virus
Less talk more independent action
Shows who “owns” these rappers
It’s Paigon not bogan and it means snake / backstabber
Limey Wiley is just as much of a culture vulture as Drake, if that’s how he wants to play it.
I side with Wiley 100% on this. Drake is a culture culture, and his stans are in denial. Props for Wiley to stand against his BS. A lot of artists are too close-mouthed to say anything about Drake due to the possibility of being black balled in the industry. Wiley DGAF.
Just look at the song he did with YG titled “Who Do You Love”. Drake straight jacked Rappin 4 Tay’s “Player’s Club” lyrics for his verse and gave no acknowledgement to him whatsoever until 4 Tay sued his ass. He’s known to do that type of stuff. He probably went to the UK to see who else he can steal ideas from lol.
*vulture
Word up
Truth be told
Who is this lil young faqqot niqqa? Probably still struggling with puberty and all the tickles in his bawsack noodle. It’s time these fiery hateful blakks answer for the sh!t that comes out they mouth and get a heavy dose of getting fired. Kanye should be next IMO
