Big Dada Records to donate royalties from Wiley's music to charity

Last Friday (24 July) and Saturday (25 July), Wiley posted various antisemitic tweets and posts on Instagram that resulted in him being dropped by his management. Twitter locked Wiley's account multiple times for hours over the weekend, and on Saturday (25 July), the BBC reported that police were assessing "relevant material" following "a number of reports relating to alleged anti-Semitic tweets".

On Saturday (25 July), Big Dada Records released a statement confirming they will donate royalties from Wiley's music to charity, "We released some records by Wiley between 2007 and 2014. We fully condemn Wiley's comments and royalties from those records will be donated to campaigns that fight anti-Semitism."
