Irish rappers Kneecap deny supporting the Hezbollah terror group and vow to “vehemently defend ourselves” after a member of the band was charged with a terror offense for displaying a Hezbollah flag at a London concert.
“We deny this ‘offence’ and will vehemently defend ourselves. This is political policing. This is a carnival of distraction,” the band says on X.
