Friends star David Schwimmer torched Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, in a lengthy Instagram statement, thanking sponsors that have backed out of London’s largest music festival over its headline act.
The U.K.’s Wireless Festival announced last week that Ye would headline all three nights of the event this coming July. The announcement sparked heavy backlash from both brands and politicians over Ye’s recorded and repeated history of antisemitism.
Over the last week, major companies have pulled out of the festival in retaliation: Pepsi, PayPal, Rockstar, Diego (owner of brands such as Johnnie Walker and Captain Morgan), and Anheuser-Busch InBev (owner of the beer brand Budweiser).
