🚨 Breaking News: British Airways has hit the brakes on their sponsorship of Louis Theroux’s podcast! 🚨
Here’s the lowdown: After an eyebrow-raising interview with Bob Vylan’s frontman, Pascal Robinson-Foster, aka Bobby Vylan, BA decided to pull their ads. Why? It all started at Glastonbury Festival this summer, where Bob Vylan led chants of “death, death to the IDF” during a BBC livestreamed performance. 👀
In a recent chat on Theroux’s podcast, Bobby Vylan held firm, stating he has no regrets and would repeat the chant given another chance. British Airways deemed this too controversial, saying it clashes with their sponsorship policy. 🛫❌
Remember, this isn’t Bob Vylan’s first brush with controversy. Following the Glastonbury incident, they were dropped by several festivals, and their visas for a US tour were revoked. Their Manchester gig was postponed due to “political pressure,” and calls from Jewish leaders and MPs for its cancellation.
Still, their fanbase remains strong, with their album “Humble As The Sun” climbing back to the top of the UK Hip Hop and R&B charts. 🔥 Plus, they’ve just announced their “We Won’t Go Quietly 2025” UK tour!
Despite the backlash, Vylan seems unfazed, calling it “minimal compared to what people in Palestine are going through.” He claims his chant was a message of support, bringing fresh air to those affected.
