Kneecap manager says Sony told them to stop talking about Palestine

"That's not going to happen."

Manager, Daniel Lambert, said that the incident happened in Manhattan. The hugely successful biopic was acquired by Sony Pictures Classics ahead of its cinematic release across the world.

As reported in the Belfast Telegraph, Lambert said: “I know in the case of Kneecap, they’ve made a lot of decisions that have been and will be fairly detrimental to their careers.”

He added: “I met Sony in a skyscraper in Manhattan… and the first thing was, they had just bought the Kneecap film, and they said: ‘You need to stop speaking about Palestine’. And the lads said: ‘That’s not going to happen.'"

On August 20, Kneecap member Liam Óg Ó hAnnaidh, who is better known as Mo Chara, is set to be appear at Westminster Magistrates Court after being charged back in May on a terror offence.

He was accused of allegedly waving a Hezbollah flag at a Kneecap gig last November.

A police investigation was also launched after their appearance at Glastonbury, however this was later dropped.
