Wiley Stripped Of MBE For Anti-Semitic Online Tirades

In 2017, the British government named London grime pioneer Wiley a Member of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire for his services to music. Wiley, the man who essentially invented grime as a teenager, accepted the MBE medal from Prince William at Buckingham Palace. Three years later, Wiley posted a string of anti-Semitic conspiracy theories and invective. He was banned from Twitter and Instagram, and his management dropped him. Now, after four years, Wiley has been stripped of his MBE.
