No Muslims allowed at Black Eyed Peas Concert

Posted: 30 Aug 2009 12:18 AM PDT

The Black Eyed Peas are scheduled to hold their first ever non-Muslim only concert in Malaysia. Now hold on, before you all go hatin’ on the Black Eyed let me just say that the discrimination comes from the government of Malaysia.

Black Eyed Peas

Malaysia is predominantly Muslim state but because they are becoming increasingly global they are having to make acceptions to other countries culture habits. They banned Avril Lavigne in the past for being to sexy and now they almost banned the Black Eyed Peas for being sponsored by Guinness a beer company from Ireland. The Muslim country of Malaysia have laws against endorsements by alcohol companies so they were forced to only allow non-Muslims the chance to attend the concert. Naturally Muslims will go and see Fergie and the group but at least the Peas won’t be held responsible if any of them get caned for it.

50 Cent Cancels “Family Day” Block Party

Posted: 29 Aug 2009 12:14 PM PDT

50 Cent was scheduled to perform at a street fair in his old neighborhood of Queens, New York on Sunday but has canceled amidst security concerns.

The police in Queens have asked 50 Cent to stay home as they are concerned about the lack of security at the "Family Day" block party. Rappers always seem to attract the wrong kind of attention at outdoor events, especially one's that take place in their old neighborhood. It could be that fellow past gang members are jealous and want revenge or for whatever reason.

It's just too bad that a few crazies have to ruin the party for everyone who looked forward to seeing their local star perform.
