A concert with R&B star Kehlani has been cancelled following accusations of anti-Semitism, reports The Guardian.

Kehlani, who was to perform at Cornell University in New York in connection with the end of the academic year, is said to have made statements such as "long live the intifada." According to the university's management, her statements have sown "division and discord" at the university.

Kehlani has previously expressed her support for Palestine, including in a music video where she sang in front of a Palestinian flag.
