UK Rapper Mocks Charlie Kirk's Death, Gets Angry When Forced to Face the Consequences

British punk-rapper Bob Vylan sparked outrage over the weekend after celebrating the death of conservative activist Charlie Kirk during a performance in Amsterdam. From the stage, Vylan told the crowd that Kirk could “rest in piss” before dedicating his next song to what he called “an absolute piece of sh*t of a human being.”

Vylan's crowd cheered as he told them, "The pronouns [for Charlie are] was/were. Because if you talk sh*t, you will get banged. Rest in piss Charlie Kirk, you piece of sh*t."

The punk-rapper had his visa to the United States revoked in June for chanting "Death, death to the IDF," at a performance at the Glastonbury music festival. 

Yet on Sunday, Vylan attempted damage control, posting a video insisting, “At no point during yesterday’s show was Charlie Kirk’s death celebrated.” But his own words, mocking Kirk’s pronouns as “was/were” and telling the crowd that he could “rest in piss,” tell a different story. 

According to Vylan, we mustn't believe our lying eyes.
