Rapper Apologizes After Song Artwork Slammed for Evoking Holocaust

British rapper Skepta apologized Wednesday after artwork for an upcoming single called “Gas Me Up (Diligent)” was criticized online for evoking the Holocaust.

The cover art showed several men with shaved heads, one of whom had the phrase “GAS ME UP” tattooed on the back of his head. Some social media users said the images were reminiscent of the Nazi treatment of Jews in extermination camps during World War II, in which many victims were tattooed, had their heads shaved, and were murdered in gas chambers.

The Mercury Prize-winning artist later apologized and explained that any allusions to the Holocaust were unintentional. He also deleted the image from his Instagram after sharing it on the account on Monday.
