This B list rap star who also acts in movies and even on Broadway was scheduled to do a tour of Australia. The thing is he told the promoter one thing who went out and sold a bunch of tickets and then two days before the show said he was not going to be able to make it and could the promoter reschedule the entire festival for our rapper. Umm, no.
Our rapper has his tour rescheduled to fit his new dates. The problem is he decides he does not want to get on the plane in the US so the dates are postponed again and again and again. A few of the shows which had to be postponed are charity concerts that the rapper wanted set up in the first place. Meanwhile, our rapper did find time to dance on stage with Prince in New York. When the rapper finally did make it to Australia he would show up late despite strict instructions he must be on time because of curfews. He also canceled random shows and has just been the biggest pain in the butt ever and caused the promoter of all these shows to shut down his business.
Mos Def
had a feeling it was him...he seems like a jerk!
ReplyDeleteThis makes me sad - I love Mos Def!
ReplyDeleteWho is this guy?
ReplyDeleteAre promoters bending over backwards to accomodate the whims of nobodys nowadays?!
thanks to our Australian CDANrs they outed Mos Def right off the bat.
ReplyDeleteI'm with textkitten....I love this guy, this makes me sad
ReplyDeleteWait I thought Mos Def was supposed to be a good guy!
ReplyDeleteMaybe he forgot his towel? Or he was magnetized!
ReplyDeleteMos Def. Why you gotta?
Not surprising. Mos Def is so good, I allowed him to do the same thing to me TWICE. He showed up for one show well over an hour and a half late and I STILL went to see him again a few months later, where he showed up over an hour late and performed the exact same set as he did a few months prior.
ReplyDeleteAwww, really like him as an artist as well. Disappointing.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the most EXCELLENT blinds, Enty!
This makes me sad too. I woulda thought Mos Def was one of the good guys.
ReplyDeleteI love(d) MOS DEF!! no more love.
ReplyDeletei LOVED him in Be Kind Rewind. The ghostbusters part... hilarious. why can't these people be on time. the charity stuff pisses me off too. what a dick.
ReplyDeleteGrade A asswipe.
ReplyDeleteDon't know if this Mos Def is a good guy or not, but if I can get out of bed each and every morning to go to work, then he should be able to as well.

ReplyDeleteNot totally surprised by this one. Mos Def has always seemed a bit strange to me.
ReplyDeletewhat an a**hole. And to think I really liked his 'Black on Both Sides' LP. I guess his marriage drama serves him right. I hope he reads this!
ReplyDeleteI used to work in music and this was always my exact experience when working with Mos Def. Ughhh
