No. You got it wrong. He's an unapologetic antisemite. He's not even hiding it. That level of hate shouldn't be allowed anywhere, not even on Twitter but it's 2020.

Who ?

A pitiful last dash attempt to save the career of a nobody with a bit of good old fashioned PR

Grim, well if that’s your opinion I guess...

He’s definitely a “grim” star

“Accused” suggests he’s innocent until proven guilty... I think his vile, explicit tweets are pretty self explanatory to prove that he’s guilty, don’t you think?

Tried reading his Tweets. Somebody on the edge, just rambling on making no sense whatsoever to me.

There’s no smoke without fire.

Hang on....Was ACCUSED? He damn well DID!!

What's a 'grim star'?

I’d never heard of this bloke before this week but did mean to call him a “grim star”?

apparently if you're black then you can't be racist, so as we all know he'll be fine

“Grim” lol.

You Know Who Owns You 🤣😭😩

Stop Printing These Lies 🤣😭😤

He wasn't 'accused' he was blatantly being vile about jewish people. Don't gloss over it.

The Police Are Corrupt & Owned By A Jewish Family Who Owns YOUR Paper 💁‍♀️😂🖕

Just as well he didn't say...men cannot become women...or even worse misgender. Otherwise he would be chucked off for good.

“Grim” is appropriate. “Accused” is not.

For once I agree with you Borisgraph. He is grim.

Grime

Sad prick

Woooow, a racist black person? I thought that’s not possible! I thought racist is sinonym with white!🤣🤣🤣

Borat would have been proud of some of those tweets.

He was not 'accused', that would mean there's a chance that he didn't spout anti-Semitic venom against the Jews. My man told the whole world, he didn't hide it. A more appropriate headline would be: The London born grime star Wiley, was roundly condemned for anti-Semitism.

Grim indeed

FYI, he's not a 'Grim' star.

Accused? 🤷🏻‍♂️

Yes he is a bit grim. But he is a 'grime' star.

Please correct this “accused” or my subscription will go.

grim stuff indeed

Racism requires the power to control outcomes for the target group. Prejudice, on the other hand, is merely having an attitude towards the target group.

Been accused of? Just been accused of?

Grim indeed...

It's not an 'accusation' but a fact !

You accidently added the words 'accused of' in the headline..

*grime
