Celebrities, including Wretch 32 and Anwar Hadid, tell Spotify not to delete Lowkey
London (QNN)- Musicians and celebrities have expressed their support to the rapper and Palestine solidarity campaigner, Lowkey.
The British pro-Israel lobby group We Believe in Israel demanded last week that streaming giant Spotify delete his music.
This includes his [2010 track] Long Live Palestine – Part 2.
However, numerous artists have signed an open letter defending him.
Among the signatories are rapper Wretch 32 and Ghetts, model Anwar Hadid, actor Michael Malarkey and Pink Floyd co-founder Roger Waters.
The signatories are calling on Spotify and also all other platforms “not to buckle to pressure groups..”
“..who would rather see his music removed than grapple with the issues he highlights.”
The letter also describes Lowkey as “the target of a coordinated smear campaign to demonize, defame and deplatform him.”
“Lowkey’s music has inspired and energized millions around the world.”
Moreover, the letter added that his music has “ignited an interest in many about the issues he raises in his work.”
“As a relentless advocate for Palestinian human rights, he is a target for many who would rather his message not be heard.”
News broke last week of the latest Israel lobby campaign against Lowkey.
However, people on social media have expressed an outpouring of support for the rapper.
Israel want @Spotify to delete @Lowkey0nline's music.
Watch 'LONG LIVE LOWKEY' to understand the real reason he is being attacked and why it's so important that you give him your support!

The despicable Zionist inspired cancel culture against anti-racists, anti-apartheid and Pro-Palestine campaigners is an utter disgrace. And the craven response from the political class to this attack on free speech shames these self-serving careerists.

Solidarity with @Lowkey0nline – an immensely gifted lyricist who uses his art and profile to highlight and fight injustice – it’s because he makes a difference that they want to silence him https://t.co/k0jvc02wM8
