(Jewish Group) British rapper Wiley repeats tropes about Jewish power and money in new interview

The British rapper Wiley in a new interview repeated tropes about Jewish power and money that saw him removed from social media platforms.

Wiley doubled down on many of his remarks, including that Jews “run the Earth,” are very rich and “stick together,” in an interview with the “1 Po Show” on the FilthyFellas YouTube channel.

The rapper said that his initial 48-hour social media tirade against Jews late last month was triggered by Nick Cannon, who espoused anti-Semitic conspiracy theories in a June episode of his podcast. Cannon, who was fired from ViacomCBS, has apologized for his remarks and taken steps to learn more about the Jewish community.

Wiley’s Jewish manager cut ties with him after the remarks.

The creators of the FilthyFellas channel said in a statement accompanying the video that Wiley “is not without his faults and 1 PO SHOW and FilthyFellas will acknowledge them. In our opinion (his) recent tirade was wrong and poorly considered and very dangerous. There is more to him than those Tweets though and we wanted to make sure we gave him the opportunity to clear-up as much of the mess has been left behind as possible.”

What a fucking bigoted POS! At least others who have done this learned (or pretended to) from their mistakes.
