Irish hip-hop group Kneecap faced significant backlash after using their Coachella performance to voice strong anti-Israel sentiments, including calls to "free Palestine" and critiques of the US military's role. TV personality Sharon Osbourne condemned their rhetoric and called for the revocation of their work visa in response. In an interview, the band dismissed Osbourne's criticism, framing their statements as truthful rather than aggressive. Despite facing death threats following their performance, Kneecap's management emphasized their commitment to speaking their truth.
Kneecap, an Irish rap group, took their performance to a different level by incorporating aggressive political statements, projections of anti-Israel messages, and hate speech.
If somebody is hurt by the truth, that's something for them to be hurt by, but it's really important to speak truth. Thankfully the lads are not afraid to do that.
