British counter-terrorism police have initiated an investigation into Irish rap group Kneecap after they denied supporting Hamas and Hezbollah, following controversial video footage. The band faced backlash and concert cancellations, prompting support from nearly 40 other artists who condemned attempts to censor artistic freedom. Kneecap issued an apology to the families of murdered politicians, stating their remarks were taken out of context, and emphasized they do not incite violence or support terrorist organizations.
