David Schwimmer has joined growing criticism over Kanye West's planned appearance at the Wireless music festival, urging organizers to withdraw the invitation unless the rapper takes meaningful steps to address the harm caused by his antisemitic remarks and actions.

The backlash intensified after Britain's prime minister condemned the decision to host West at the festival. Pepsi, the event's official sponsor, announced it would withdraw its support, with other backers following suit.

Schwimmer called on festival organizers to deny West a platform until he demonstrates accountability and works to repair the damage stemming from his past statements, adding further pressure on the event amid mounting public and political scrutiny.
