The rapper formerly known as Kanye West has been banned from entering the UK amid a deepening political row over his previous antisemitic statements.
West, who is legally known as Ye, made an application to travel to the UK via an Electronic Travel Authorisation on Monday but it has been blocked by officials.
It is understood that West’s application was initially granted online but was rescinded after review, on the grounds that his presence in the UK would not be conducive to the public good.
