Cornell University has canceled R&B artist Kehlani's performance at its 2025 Slope Day concert due to her history of inflammatory anti-Israel and antisemitic statements. The decision came after intense criticism from students, alumni, and parents, with the university president citing concerns from the community. Kehlani's past public comments, including social media posts and videos expressing support for violence and derogatory statements about Zionists, resurfaced. The announcement of her as the headliner drew backlash, particularly from campus organizations like Cornellians for Israel. Cornell has faced scrutiny for its handling of rising antisemitism on campus since the 2023 attack on Israel.
