Why did rapper Wiley post a series of anti-Semitic rants?
The rapper Wiley has been condemned for sharing conspiracy theories and insults about Jewish people in a series of social media posts. He's one of several rappers in recent weeks accused of anti-Semitism.
The British ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ secretary is demanding answers from Twitter and Instagram on why the posts were not removed more quickly.
Nadine Batchelor-Hunt, a Black-Jewish journalist, called out Wiley's antisemitism and became a target of one of his posts.
She tells us that rappers like Wiley risk causing a divide between the Black and Jewish communities, with racists being the only beneficiaries.
