More drama coming down the pike for Ye, the rapper formerly known as Kanye West. Not only are sponsors dropping out of the London festival he’s scheduled to headline … he can’t even enter the country!

Ye has reportedly had his visa withdrawn by the UK government, according to The Guardian.

As you know … the rapper has been criticized for antisemitic remarks he’s made, which have gone as far as making a song called “Heil Hitler.”

Ye apologized for some of his behavior in a full-page ad in the Wall Street Journal, but that didn’t stop Pepsi and others from yanking sponsorship from London’s Wireless Festival scheduled for July after Ye was named as headliner.
