The British government has begun a review of whether to allow entry to the United States rapper Kanye West's London performance.

According to the BBC, a British state-run broadcaster, on the 6th (local time), the British government is examining whether Ye's entry matches the public interest and social values. The British government had the power to ban entry if the courtesy stay was deemed not in the public interest.

Ye was listed as a cast member at the Wireless Festival to be held in July. In this regard, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer said he was "very concerned."

Earlier, Ye released a song called "Heil Hitler" and sold clothes containing Nazi patterns. In the aftermath of the controversy, his first performance in Korea scheduled for May last year at Incheon Munhak Stadium was canceled, and the Australian government also canceled Ye's visa and refused entry.

Ye, who has been embroiled in repeated controversies, mentioned a car accident 25 years ago and apologized for his inappropriate remarks in an advertisement titled "To those I hurt" published in the Wall Street Journal (WSJ) in January. He officially apologized for his anti-Semitic remarks and confessed for the first time that he was fighting bipolar disorder and brain damage.

At the time, he said, "I broke my jaw and damaged the right frontal lobe of my brain in a car accident 25 years ago," adding, "At the time, the treatment was focused only on fractures and physical trauma, so internal neurological damage was not properly diagnosed. In the end, it led to bipolar disorder type 1, he claimed.

"There is a defense mechanism called 'denial' in bipolar disorder. When you're in a manic state, you don't think you're sick. The more I turned away from the problem, the worse the situation got, and I said and said things I would regret."

As for anti-Semitic remarks, "I was attracted to the most destructive symbols I could find," he said, "and I was attracted to the Nazi pattern and even the clothes it printed on." Many moments that I still don't remember led to wrong judgments and reckless actions, he explained.

Ye said, "I'm not a Nazi, I'm not an antisemite. I love the Jews. I'm sorry to disappoint the black community that held me to the darkest moment, when I was happy or struggling. The community is the foundation for what kind of person I am," he said.
