DID MMG CANCEL THEIR NORTH CAROLINA TOUR STOP OVER GANG THREATS


Did MMG Cancel Their North Carolina Tour Stop Over Gang Threats?!? find out whats being reported below!

A popular hip-hop artist has canceled concert stops in Charlotte and Greensboro for this weekend after online death threats.
A Maybach Music Group concert tour headlining Rick Ross was scheduled to appear Friday in Greensboro and Saturday at Bojangles’ Coliseum in Charlotte. Rappers Wale and Meek Mill were scheduled to appear as well.
Tickets can be refunded starting Friday, Live Nation Entertainment group said in a statement.
In a YouTube rap video, the North Carolina chapter of the Gangster Disciples warned Ross about coming to Charlotte and Greensboro. Apparently the Disciples were angered that Ross had “dishonored” a gang leader and that he was using gang symbols in a disrespectful manner.
“I think fans should be concerned. I think the parents should be concerned because you never know,” said Paul Scott, a minister from Durham who is also a hip-hop journalist.
“No one took the Tupac-Notorious BIG beef seriously until they were both dead,” he said, referring to rappers Tupac Shakur and Biggie Smalls, both slain in 1996.
Deon Cole is a friend of Ross’ and is also assistant programming director for WPEG-FM (Power 98) in Charlotte. He didn’t believe that fans had anything to worry about and said that Ross and the Disciples would work out their problems.
Before the concert was canceled, Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police had released a statement Wednesday, saying officers would remain vigilant to ensure safety at the event.
