Kanye West has offered to meet members of the Jewish community in the U.K. following the furore over his headline booking at this year’s Wireless Festival, as sponsors continued to flee and politicians maintained their pressure on the government to bar his entry.

In a statement obtained by Variety, the rapper – who also goes by Ye – said he had been “following the conversation around Wireless and want to address it directly.” He said his “only goal is to come to London and present a show of change, bringing unity, peace, and love through my music,” and offered to meet community members in person “to listen,” adding: “I know words aren’t enough – I’ll have to show change through my actions. If you’re open, I’m here.”
