US hip hop star Lauryn Hill cancelled her Tel Aviv concert in May 2015 following requests to do so by the Palestinian Campaign for the Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel, groups across the US and many of her fans.

A member of the band The Fugees , Lauryn Hill is one of the world’s most famous hip hop artists.

Major artists including Faithless, U2, Bjork, Jean-Luc Godard, Snoop Dogg and Vanessa Paradis have cancelled performances in Israel or declined to perform there.
