You do know that’s the job of journalists right? Journalists have in the past spoken to many people it doesn’t mean they endorse those people it just means that the journalists want to get their side of the story. This includes pirates, murderers, and even dictators.

The guy has literally interviewed the KKK, but this is radical rhetoric too far?
Did the KKK guy defend chants to „Gas the Jews“ or similar in his interview?
Did Bobby Villain chant “death to the Jews”? Stop making false equivilence.
Did Vylan call for the deaths of jewish people or did he call death to the IDF which is entirely different?
He has interviewed neo-nazis in the past so it is odd that a rapper is the one who sets these “advertisers” off.
