I Apologize For My Recent Artwork, I’ll Be Mindful Of Discriminatory Perceptions Henceforth – Skepta

Popular rapper, Skepta has come out to issue an apology after being accused of using antisemitic imagery as the cover art for his latest single.

Recall that Skepta announced his new single ‘Gas Me Up’ using the image of a guy with a shaved head with the words the title of the single inscribed.

Reacting to the criticism that followed, Skepta revealed that it was not his intention to discriminate in any way, and he promises to be mindful of such perception henceforth.

He added that the current football culture has made even the most innocent things appear offensive to a lot of people.

His words, “I’ve been waiting to drop ‘Gas Me Up (Diligent)’ since teasing it April last year, worked hard getting the artwork right for my album rollout which is about my parents coming to the U.K. in the 80’s, Skinhead, Football culture and it has been taken offensively by many. I can promise you that was definitely not our plan so I have removed it and I vow to be more mindful going forward.”

WOW.
