The company has 'cut all ties' with the musician following a series of social media posts made on accounts belonging to him.

Grime artist Wiley's management company says it has dropped him over antisemitism accusations.

Wiley, known as the Godfather of Grime and whose real name is Richard Cowie, posted a screenshot on Instagram on Saturday morning, showing he had been given a temporary Twitter ban but would be allowed back into his account later. However, Twitter was accused of"ignoring antisemitism" because the tweets were still visible 12 hours after they were first posted on Friday.The Campaign Against Antisemitism has asked police to investigate the content and called for Wiley's accounts to be shut down"to prevent further outpouring of anti-Jewish venom".

He had earlier said he did not support or condone what Wiley posted but that he would speak to him privately and"help educate him".

Good! Being banned from social medias is a ridiculous measure for teens. Imagine banning Hitler and his psychos from Twitter? Drastic consequences are needed. You make money by spreading hatred, violence and trying to convince a community to hate another group...Cut the money.

100 quid to the Jeremy Corbyn fund if Skynews have Wiley on and somehow fucking manipulate a way to reference Jeremy Corbyn and BLM. watch and learn. Propaganda 101 absolute disgrace

To old to know anything about Grime Music and never heard of this Guy until now. Disgusted by his remarks. Doesn’t deserve his Honour. Presume he supports BLM and yet a hypocrite for being a racist himself if he stands by these latest comments he made. An apology is in order!

just need to de platform off twitter now, job done done my report, like 1000s of others, world can well do without scummy anti semetic p.o.s like this spud faced chancer,

Who is he ?

Ha ha 🤡

If only there was some way of verifying these accusations? Like reading the tweets and watching the videos that are still up!?!?!

There so much on social media, people saying unbelievable things about Moslems, blacks, Chinese and so on, nobody makes so much fuss like Jews, why?

'Accusations'? Did you not read the tweets?

Why do so many people use this platform to spout such hatred? These influential guys have a chance to talk to the younger fans and send a positive message, but use it instead to encourage discrimination

Who the fuck is Wiley and what have I missed?

CD’s now in 2 for £1 bargain bin in all stores 👌🏻

Let him say any stupid stuff he wants, it's his right, I'm all about free speech. But there are consequences to saying really vile stuff. If the employer is a private company and takes offence then consequences are, you might lose your job. And people know how stupid you are.

Labour voter?

Stormzy right about now

I think this guy is having a Kanye moment

Some niggas are good , some niggas are bad, some whites are good some white trash are bad

I never heard of him until today. I don't like grime. Fairy liquid has told me all my life that grime was bad

Not a case of “accusations” please remove this word & do as BBCNews is reporting as “anti Semitic tweets”

Let's not get bogged down with whether he should be arrested or charged. The big question of the day has yet to be answered. Who is he?

Grime is the arsehole of Music. Full of fake gangsters that only 14 year old girls listen to.

racists like him have no place in modern day britain.

« accusations » seriously 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

Farrakhan Hell... who'd have thought it?

'Accusations'. No accusations, he's an open antisemite racist

I genuinely hope his MBE is stripped from him.

Be ashamed of yourself . Accusations 😂😂 was it accused a black man was killed because a racist knelt on his neck last month, don’t think so.. he was racist, just like Wiley.

👏👏

Good! the far left agenda just shows face every so often and gullible idiots lap it up as a new fashion trend. More and more found out every day.

Sadly all this music is violent, hateful and misogynistic. There’s some serious cultural issues to attend to in that community.

They’re facts ..he’s an anti Semite and a racist Wileyceo

“Accusations “...? Seriously. The man must have been posting it every 2 mins all yesterday. And shared a video of him! Of course it was him

Who ?

Lose the last word.

Accusations? Really? This is one of dozens of anti-Semitic rants.

antisemitism accusations

Should people be concerned that he has just stopped, no tweets in 50mins?

Good. Right decision.

I bet his mum Jo is fuming.

Hahaha 'accusations'. How much more proof do you need beyond his own tweets. Wiley Antisemitic

Accusations? These are not accusations, Go on line read the tweets and then do the right thing and change your headline,

Funny how poor Sky news and sport has become under Comcast ownership .

He obviously has lost the plot.

Accusations?
