Kehlani has responded to allegations of antisemitism following the cancellation of her performance at Cornell University's Slope Day due to concerns about her support for Palestine. The R&B singer defended her stance on Palestine and denied being antisemitic, emphasizing that she is against genocide and the actions of the Israeli government. Cornell University scrapped her performance after receiving objections from the community regarding her perceived anti-Israel sentiments expressed on social media and in her music videos. Kehlani adamantly stated her position in a TikTok video alongside her Jewish-Palestinian friend and Jewish studio engineer. Despite the cancellation of her show, she remains outspoken in her support for Palestine and criticized attempts to silence her advocacy. Kehlani highlighted her collaboration with Jewish Voice for Peace and emphasized her commitment to advocating for Palestinian rights. The event at Cornell University is still scheduled to proceed on May 7 without Kehlani's performance.
