Philadelphia Mayor John Street prevented rapper Mystikal from performing in a play last night.
The Mayor's spokespeople said that the rapper was not a proper role model for children.
The rapper was scheduled to perform at the Dell East in Cordell Moore's "Something She Can Feel," but spokespeople for the Mayor said that Mystikal "isn't an appropriate role model for the young people of Philadelphia."
Moore's musical stage play features cortically acclaimed actor Leon, Lavan Davis, Bill Hill and Charlie Wilson of The Gap Band and has traveled throughout the country.
Mystikal, who recently pled guilty to rape charges, was replaced by another artist.
Street is involved in a controversy of his own. At a block party in Philadelphia, the mayor recently praised a man arrested for dealing drugs.
Edward "Joe Joe" Terrell, 42, has been arrested for selling heroin, marijuana, crack and assaulting police officers. He recently opened a local T-shirt store.
"If there's anybody out there who, whether you're involved in illegal activity or not, if you want to start a business, we'd like to help you," Street told the crowd at the block party.
