UK pop star and producer Mark Ronson has hit out at black newspaper The Voice over a sympathetic interview with Wiley after the grime star’s antisemitic tirade got him banned from Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.
Mark tweeted the following in response to the interview:
"you need to get a Jewish lawyer in order to progress in the music business may be a complete fallacy
I’ve never seen anyone Jewish refute or confirm this"
let me help out,

Many of us know that record deals can often be some of the most god-awfully unfair contracts in business.
But that shitty record contract Wiley’s talking about? I promise my own record contract contains ALL the same standard shitty terms.— Mark Ronson (@MarkRonson) July 30, 2020
BUT THROWING FUEL ON THE FIRE WITH POORLY RESEARCHED ARTICLES THAT PERPETUATE DANGEROUS MYTHS BY PRETENDING TO POSE QUESTIONS IS NOT THE WAY FWD

Drop mike.
Actually, Mark has been tweeting against antisemitism and racism all week,
Last one….
No two people are the same. Let alone an entire race or religion.
Wisdom. Understanding. Knowledge are what we need right now.
Not hatred lies and distrust.

i posted a bunch of tweets denoucing hatred, bigotry and anti-semitism during a twitter black out to protest hatred, bigotry and anti-semitism. MY BAD.

We forgive you, Mark. Especially after zingers like this
I know what it’s like to be a sad 40-something man alone in a London apartment questioning my life decisions and relevance. I wish I could blame someone else for that, but the only Jew I can blame is myself.
