Chinese Officials Shut Down Jay-Z

October 12, 2006 at 8:55 AM | 0 Comments


Chinese officials gave a little smack down to supa-star Jay-Z, cancelling his planned concert in Shanghai at the end of the month.

Citing his lyrics as "too vulgar," they dropped his Oct. 23 gig at the Hongkou Stadium without further comment. Hope J can get a refund on his plane tickets. We're a bit mystified, because if we remember correctly, didn't they just let the Black Eyed Peas and Rolling Stones take the stage there? What, humps and lady lumps aren't vulgar? Interesting.
