As previously reported Jigga is having a bit of trouble selling out some of his UK concerts. But could it be due to the same hate that got the Rachel Ray ads pulled? Probably not but there are some signs of racism going on. SCOTTISH singer K T Tunstall was quoted in a UK paper going off on her country men.

“People need to get a f*****g grip - Jay-Z is one of the biggest stars in the world. Of course he should be headlining.

“Glastonbury is about diversity and introducing people to stuff they maybe haven’t seen before.
It’s prejudice against hip-hop. So does that mean we should get rid of the world music and dance stages?

“I’m not a huge hip-hop fan but I’d really like to see Jay-Z.”

The Organizers have been getting a lot of flack because Jigga doesn’t play a guitar like Lil Wayne. But Jay is taking it in high spirits saying.

“We don’t play guitars, Noel, but hip-hop has put in its work like any other form of music. This headline show is just a natural progression. Rap music is still evolving.

“People have a passion and have an opinion about who should perform there.

But the world changes and we have to embrace the change. I’ve never been involved in anything this controversial. What’s the big deal about doing a show?” Source

And to figure we are about to elect a black president in the states and we can’t even headline a concert in the UK. I guess America is the greatest country in the world.
