Wiley forfeits MBE for ‘bringing the honours system into disrepute’
Grime artist Wiley has forfeited his MBE for “bringing the honours system into disrepute”.
A list published to the Cabinet Office website said the award had been forfeited this month.
The musician, whose real name is Richard Cowie and who is often referred to as the Godfather of Grime, had been honoured for his services to music in the 2018 New Year Honours list.
In 2020 the musician was banned from for antisemitic comments.
