Kanye rejects invitation from Holocaust museum to learn more about antisemitism
American artist Ye, known as Kanye West, has been dropped by big business partners and banned from social media for tweeting and broadcasting anti-Semitic hate speech.
He had already faced criticism for anti-black hate speech after he showed a 'White Lives Matter" T-shirt at Paris Fashion Week.
Beth Kean is the CEO of Los Angeles Holocaust Museum. She says they invited West to learn about antisemitism and meet a Holocaust survivor. He publicly declined the invitation.
"We wanted him to understand the reach and the power of his words...where hate and prejudice can lead."
