Skepta's Controversial Artwork: A Holocaust Reference Backlash
Skepta's new single artwork for "Gas Me Up (Diligent)" has drawn comparisons to Kanye West and sparked controversy due to its imagery, which some have likened to The Holocaust. The photo features shaved heads with "Gas Me Up" tattooed on one, leading to criticism and concerns about its offensive and distasteful nature. Skepta, who previously announced his retirement from rapping in 2021, surprised fans with news of his upcoming sixth album, Knife and Fork, and the release of the controversial single. As of now, the rapper has not responded to the backlash.
