Journalist, presenter and creative Poet interviewed Wiley, on the 21st of August. It was for the latest episode of Poet’s YouTube series, 1 PO Show.

Wiley has been embroiled in controversy recently, following an Antisemitic rant on Twitter. Twitter, YouTube and Instagram banned the rapper, proceeding the outburst. Poet quizzed Wiley on these issues.

However, he failed to recognise the error of his ways. He blamed the Jewish community for his social media ban by claiming: ‘Twitter, shut down – who owns Twitter, do you reckon? Instagram, shut down – who owns Instagram, do you reckon? Facebook – shut down – we all know who owns Facebook‘. ‘YouTube, Google, who owns that do you reckon?  That’s the first lot of people who have shown who they are‘.

He did admit that he could have worded his tweets better, but the lack of regret will continue to damage his career. The interview appeared on the Football Youtube channel, The Filthy Fellas. The channel condemned Wiley’s comments. They wrote, on their channel, that the rant was ‘wrong and poorly considered and very dangerous‘.

Wiley rounded off the interview with a message for Alan Sugar. He said ‘Alan Sugar I don’t hate you the way you think I feel’. But ‘you love your people and you want to make jokes about mine‘.

Wiley has burned a lot of bridges since his Antisemitic outburst. The interview gave him the opportunity and the platform to express regret. However, he failed to denounce his previous statements and, as a result, his career may be in jeopardy.
