'Balaclava has slipped' claim in rapper row

KNEECAP were branded the “musical wing of Sinn Fein" yesterday as the “kill your MP" row rumbled on and a music festival in England cancelled them.

- 

DUP leader Gavin Robinson said the band’s “balaclava has slipped” and alleged there is “not coherency on the application of laws that should be preventing the glorification of terrorism in Northern Ireland”.

The Belfast group's performance at the Eden Project in England in July was cancelled, organisers announced yesterday. A reason for the show's cancellation was not given.

Since criticising Israel at the Coachella music festival in the US earlier this month, the rap trio have come under renewed criticism.
