She should be THANKFUL that these types of ‘festivals’ are still permitted by their upcoming majority...because they won’t be for long.

So given that fact, I think it would be reasonable for her to wear a head-dress for this privilege.

Good for her.

In France at a music festival last Saturday...

French authorities detained 12 suspects after 145 people reported being pricked with syringes during Fête de la Musique

"The interior ministry said 145 victims reported being stabbed with needles across the country, with Paris police reporting 13 cases in the capital."

Ms. Banks recognizes what the islamists really are all about; control of the population and turning England and Europe into muslim nations.

I don’t know anything about her, but I don’t blame her for being disgusted over all that pressure. They should just let singers sing, actors perform, and athletes play games without having to take up the latest political fad.

It seems she is mad at people wanting to force her to promote anti-Israel stances and of her wearing a hijab.

Very interesting to see someone fight back at this. I wonder how many other celebrities went along with promoting Free Palestine while not believing it—for the money.

People who support Palestine and Hamas, should be rounded up and sent to Gaza. If they like it so much... Go there and resurrect it from the sh*thole that it currently is... And make it into a free and secular state

Me too. Her statements are, let us say, bold and direct. No “progressive” wokeness there.

Out of curiosity I just looked her up. She’s quite the loose cannon. She supported Trump in 2016. Then she didn’t. Same goes for the 2024 race, and many other issues.

Anyway, the black/rapper community needs to hear different opinions, even if they are polluted with the f-word.

Always put Daniel Pearl in your foremost thoughts when engaging in any dialog or gathering with those faithful to Islam. Ignore what you see or hear. Pay attention to conduct and actions over time.

I don't either, but I applaud her stance while rejecting the promoters of this coordinated propaganda event disguised as a musical event.

I hope more follow her lead and pull pull out as well. Hopefully their event will be a washout.

I don’t know her from any other person on the planet I’ve never met but DAY-um, gurrl, y’all just killed your career; whateverthehell it is.

“And no, I’m not saying fuck actual Palestine. But fuck your dumb ass slogans and performative bullshit. Yall wanna make a stance so bad but stand for absolutely nothing. As soon as the media says pedophilia is “natural and normal,” You bitches will be right there talking about…

Banks is incredibly brave, and I am stunned by how educated and literate she is. Had no idea.

I noticed nobody seems upset with the use of the F word either. So I guess it's all good.
