Cornell University is racing to find a new headliner after its university president rescinded the contract for a pro-Palestinian performer.

The Independent has approached Kehlani’s representatives for comment. In her 2024 social media video, Kehlani said she had lost “any ounce of f***ing respect” for the artists who remained silent over the war in Gaza.

Kehlani will no longer perform at Cornell University because of her stanbce on the war in Gaza. The 30-year-old singer-songwriter was scheduled to perform at the university's annual Slope Day concert event as the headliner on May 7.
