Pepsi Drops Wireless Festival
The beverage giant stripped its 'Pepsi Presents' branding from the event just hours after the government expressed alarm over the booking.
Kanye West, also known as Ye, is scheduled to perform across all three days of the summer festival in Finsbury Park.
Critics have pointed to the artist's previous praise for Nazi figures as a reason he should be blocked from entering the UK. The festival organizers now face mounting pressure to remove West from the lineup as other partners reconsider their involvement.
