Rapper Bobby Vylan doubled down on his decision to chant “death, death, death to the IDF” at the Glastonbury Festival this summer, noting he’d “do it again tomorrow” if given the opportunity.
Vylan, who is one half of the English punk rap duo Bob Vylan (his musical partner goes by Bobbie Vylan), opened up about the controversial festival appearance and the subsequent backlash during an appearance on “The Louis Theroux Podcast.”
“If I was to go on Glastonbury again tomorrow, yes, I would do it again,” Vylan noted. “I’m not regretful of it. I’d do it again tomorrow, twice on Sundays. I’m not regretful of it at all.”
He added, “The subsequent backlash that I’ve faced. It’s minimal. It’s minimal compared to what people in Palestine are going through … What is there to regret? Oh, because I’ve upset some right-wing politician or some right-wing media?”
This marks Vylan’s first interview since sparking controversy with his comments at Glastonbury, which saw the band publicly condemned by festival organizers, their visas revoked by the U.
