In a guest column, Jewish rapper KoshaDillz addresses Wiley's anti-Semitic comments by pointing the U.K. artist to his own words: 'Search for comparisons and you'll find similarity.'

How are you? I ask that sincerely, as I’m sure the past week has been challenging for you, as it has been for many of us.have hurt. Like a broken record, they’re anti-Semitic tropes we’ve heard for time immemorial. They go back to the very dawn of civilization, and they are wrong.

Our stories seem to have parallels. We’re both former drug dealers-turned-independent artists who serve a faithful audience . You said so yourself on the “Blood Cart Morning” when you rhymed: “Nobody pushed me, nobody carried me / Search for comparisons you’re only gonna find similarity.” But we differ in one respect:You started Grime and brought the influential hip-hop style to the world, while I merely get to participate in a culture I love dearly.

You even have a song called “Welcome to Zion” on the 2012 album “Evolve or Be Extinct” which references highly Jewish concepts, yet your issue with the Jewish people seems based on tired stereotypes involving the entertainment industry. Every tribe has its faults, but in my experience traveling and performing around the world, we have made the best of our sh–ty situations and still show up for the gig.
