Kehlani Dropped from Cornell’s Slope Day Over Alleged Antisemitic Content in Pro-Palestinian Advocacy

Kehlani was removed from Cornell University’s Slope Day lineup amid uproar over alleged antisemitic content tied to her pro-Palestinian advocacy. Critics pointed to her music video "Next 2 U," featuring Palestinian symbols and the phrase “Long Live the Intifada,” as evidence. Kehlani refutes the accusations, stating her position is anti-genocide, not antisemitic. The controversy highlights intensifying debates over artistic expression, free speech, and political boundaries on campuses nationwide. Cornell has yet to confirm a new headliner for the event.
