KNEECAP PROBED BY TERROR COPS

Rap trio under fire over 'death of MPs' call and 'up Hezbollah

- BY CHARLOTTE MCLAUGHLIN

KNEECAP are being probed by UK counter-terrorism police after videos emerged allegedly showing them calling for the deaths of MPs and shouting “up Hamas, up Hezbollah”.

The Belfast rap trio have had several gigs cancelled after footage appeared to show one of them shouting “up Hamas, up Hezbollah” in November last year.

Video from November 2023 also appeared to show one member of the group saying: “The only good Tory is a dead Tory. Kill your local MP.”

The group apologised on Monday to the families of murdered MPs but claimed footage of the incident had been “exploited and weaponised”, while they also said they have “never supported” Hamas or Hezbollah, which are both banned organisations in the UK.
