Rapper cancels gig after refusing to 'bow down' to Morrissey meat ban at venue - London Evening Standard
A rapper has cancelled a gig because he is refusing to "bow down" to a meat ban imposed at a venue by Morrissey.
Excerpt:
Jake Hill, from South Alabama, was set to perform a tour date in Houston at the White Oak Music Hall on October 28.
Morrissey, former frontman of The Smiths, was also playing the venue in a different area. It is said to be stipulated in his contracts that meat should not be served where he is playing.
Mr Hill, who has more than one million listeners per month on Spotify, posted a video on Twitter explaining why he had cancelled the gig.
He said: "If anybody was coming to the show tonight, I'm sorry to tell you it's been cancelled.
"Soon as we get here we find out that there's a bigger artist playing on the lawn, who is a vegetarian. Which is fine. But he has made a specific contract rule that you can't have any meat in the venue."
He said he had ordered food, with Chick-fil-A appearing in the background, and then was told he would have to "eat it outside like a dog".
"This is the twentieth show we've done, we're tired, we wanna relax and eat our food. But apparently god is here but he;s making it to where we can't eat meat," he said.
"I hate to do this but I'm not about to bow down to this guy, show's been cancelled, I'm sorry."
He ended with an expletive outburst at Morrissey and said: "F*** you Morrissey, b****."
