Ye is speaking out after being banned from traveling to the United Kingdom, three months before the rapper was set to headline the Wireless Festival in London.
The Home Office, the U.K. government's department overseeing public safety and immigration, rejected a travel application from the controversial rapper, formerly known as Kanye West, according to BBC News and The Guardian.
Per the BBC, the Home Office said the decision to ban Ye's travel was "made on the grounds that his presence would not be conducive to the public good."
As a result of Ye's denied entry, the Wireless Festival has been canceled altogether, representatives for the festival confirmed to Variety on Tuesday, April 7.
Ye has come under fire in recent years for espousing statements widely viewed as antisemitic and racist. The Grammy-winning rapper has also been accused of sexual misconduct in two lawsuits by former employees.
