JAY-Z AND AUNTIE MARY PULL PLUG ON COLORADO!
Rap superstar JAY-Z and hip-hop/soul queen MARY J. BLIGE have been forced to scrap a scheduled concert in Colorado next month (Apr08) - less than three hours after announcing the date in a press release. The pair is due to hit the road for their Heart of the City Tour this weekend (22Mar08) in Miami, Florida, with further dates across North America over the next few weeks. An additional gig at Denver's Pepsi Center on 23 April was declared by promoter Live Nation on Tuesday (18Mar08) night at 8.59pm, with tickets due to go on sale on Saturday (22Mar08) morning. But at 11.48pm, Live Nation issued another statement, pulling the concert altogether. The latest press release reads: "Due to late additions of appearance commitments, they are disappointed that they will not be able to play in Denver."
LIL WAYNE UNFAZED BY UK RIOTS
LATEST: Rapper LIL' WAYNE "loved" spending time in the U.K. despite having one of his concerts cut short after a series of fights broke out in the crowd. The star - real name Dwayne Michael Carter Jr. - was playing a gig at London's Stratford Rex but was reportedly forced off the stage early when the audience started throwing bottles at him. The hip-hop star found the experience terrifying, but insists he hasn't let it mar his opinion of his trip to Britain. He tells MTV, "It's scary at first. But then refreshing when you walk offstage and hear everyone shouting, 'Weezy, Weezy, Weezy.' (That's) a relief. They knew the words to my songs, my girlfriends' phone numbers, everything. That's a big surprise to know that they actually understand what I'm talking about. "This whole experience has just been interesting, to say the least. I love it."
GILLIE DA KID CHARGES HAVE BEEN DROPPED!
Rapper GILLIE DA KID has been cleared of all charges relating to a 2007 arrest for drugs. The hip-hop star, real name S'ard Nasir, spent time behind bars in February (07) after being detained by Philadelphia authorities in a drugs bust involving the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). Cops discovered almost $500,000 (GBP250,000)-worth of marijuana in two houses allegedly run by Gillie and five associates. However, Gillie - who protested his innocence throughout the case - has now had charges of conspiracy and possession of narcotics with intent to deliver dropped.
