Jay-Z Concert in China Canceled Due To Profane Lyrics
"Some of Jay-Z's songs contain too much vulgar language," Sun Yun, a promoter for KS Production
Co., said to the Shanghai Daily newspaper regarding the ministry's reason for refusing permission
for the Oct. 23 concert.
right The concert would have been the Chinese debut for Jay-Z.
The New York rapper's use of profanity and songs about drug dealers, pimps and violence apparently
offended the culture leaders of China, though they've recently allowed other groups with sexually
suggestive songs, such as The Rolling Stones and the Black Eyed Peas, to perform in Shanghai.
According to the Associated Press, the cancellation could not be immediately confirmed, but a
notice posted Wednesday on an online ticket booking Web site, Tickets365, said the concert had been
postponed.
The notice gave no reason for the cancellation, but said concertgoers would be contacted as
soon as a new date was set.
