Cornell University on Wednesday canned Jew-bashing entertainer Kehlani’s upcoming on campus performance after facing overwhelming backlash over the decision to host the anti-Israel musician.

President Michael Kotlikoff said he’d rescinded the Grammy Award-nominated R&B artist’s invitation to perform next month at the university’s “Slope Day” end-of-year celebration — just days after the school initially defended the move.

“Unfortunately, although it was not the intention, the selection of Kehlani as this year’s headliner has injected division and discord into Slope Day,” he said in a letter to students and staff.

“In the days since Kehlani was announced, I have heard grave concerns from our community that many are angry, hurt, and confused that Slope Day would feature a performer who has espoused antisemitic, anti-Israel sentiments in performances, videos, and on social media.”

Cornell University sparked outrage over Kehlani’s invitation to perform on campus.

“While any artist has the right in our country to express hateful views, Slope Day is about uniting our community, not dividing it,” he added.
