British rapper Wiley made more antisemitic remarks in an interview on Friday with the YouTube show FilthyFellas one month after\u00a0posting a string of anti-Jewish comments<\/a><\/strong><\/span>\u00a0on his social media accounts.<\/span><\/p>\n

While speaking with FilthyFellas, which described the 41-year-old\u2019s antisemitic tirade in July as \u201cwrong and poorly considered and very dangerous,\u201d Wiley repeated previous claims that he \u201cnever had a problem with anyone in business other than with some of the Jewish community that I\u2019ve worked with.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The rapper, whose real name is Richard Cowie, showed very little remorse for his past comments, simply saying, \u201cI would have worded it differently.\u201d He added that he was representing the opinions of \u201cmy people,\u201d claiming, \u201cA lot of what I am going on about, it is deep-rooted. It is institutional; it\u2019s systemic; it\u2019s in place anyway.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Wiley told the interviewer, Poet, \u201cMy word is not vicious or malicious. They tried to say \u2018He\u2019s Hitler.\u2019 No I\u2019m not. Hitler is a wicked man \u2026 [he\u2019s] got tanks, guns. I\u2019m nothing like Hitler. I just clocked.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

He then said: \u201cI\u2019m right. I\u2019m right. The Jewish community do own a lot of s\u2013t on this planet, and they do, with other societies, run the Earth. They own everything. \u00a0I\u2019m not antisemitic if I say the Jewish community\u2019s very powerful, they own this, they own that \u2014 I\u2019m not wrong. I\u2019m not wrong. If I say there\u2019s sheikhs who own a lot of oil \u2014 am I wrong?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Wiley was banned from YouTube, Twitter, Facebook and Instagram following his antisemitic tirade in July. He told FilthyFellas that he was compelled to speak out publicly about the Jewish community after hearing American media personality\u00a0Nick Cannon voice antisemitic conspiracy theories<\/a><\/strong><\/span>, which the latter subsequently apologized for.<\/span><\/p>\n

Wiley, who also dismissed claims that he was a Holocaust denier in the FilthyFellas interview, then referenced the \u201cshut down\u201d of his social media accounts.<\/span><\/p>\n

He said: \u201cTwitter, shut down \u2014 who owns Twitter, do you reckon? Instagram, shut down \u2014 who owns Instagram, do you reckon? Facebook \u2014 shut down \u2014 we all know who owns Facebook. YouTube shutdown, Google, who owns that do you reckon? \u00a0That\u2019s the first lot of people who have shown who they are.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cMy thing was just drawing out certain\u2026 \u00a0and you saw what came out, and you saw what they said, even down to things like Israel is your place, but come and get it. I bet you can\u2019t come and get it.\u2019\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

He also called British-Jewish business tycoon Lord Alan Sugar \u201cslightly racist\u201d and referenced Canadian rapper Drake, whose mother is Jewish, saying,\u201cThe music industry was waiting for Drake. They couldn\u2019t wait for him to get there.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
