Harvard University's Undergraduate Council has cancelled a planned performance by Snoop Dogg next month, after local news reports suggested students objected to the rapper's obscene lyrics.
Some Harvard students reportedly opposed Snoop appearing at the prestigious Massachusetts university, according to local news channel NBC 3.
The students mentioned lyrics from Snoop's latest album Rhythm and Gangsta in particular, about slapping women as a means of controlling them.
The Undergraduate Council failed to mention the lyrics in a short statement they issued, which simply stated that Snoop's cancellation was due to "financial considerations and unavoidable obstacles."
According to a report published on The Harvard Crimson's website on April 13, Snoop had not even signed a contract, but was in negotiations with the Harvard Concert Commission.
Concert organizers must clear a security plan with the Boston Police Department and obtain an entertainment license from the Boston Mayor's Office of Special Events if the proposed concert, slated for May 1, is to take place.
While reports of Snoop's lyrics were offered as a reason for the cancellation of the concert, The Crimson reported that the Undergraduate Council, which funds HCC events, is unsure whether in can cover the expenses of the event.
