50 Cent Pokes Fun At Canadian Officials

Postby SNaKe » Dec 21st, '05, 12:46

GUnitWorld.com: While performing hits like What Up Gangsta, Gunz Come Out and I'm Supposed to Die Tonight, 50 Cent mocked Canadian officials who refused to allow several members of G-Unit, his musical entourage, to enter the country due to various legal problems.
"We went on tour everywhere else, but they stopped us from bringing them into Canada," he said, eliciting a round of boos from about 5,000 fans at Ricoh Coliseum.
It was the only moment during the concert when the hip-hop artist commented on accusations by police and federal politicians that his immensely popular style of gangsta rap promotes gun violence.
The issue took on extra significance in Toronto, where 50 people have been killed by gunfire this year.
Concert organizers, well aware that flying bullets have marred 50 Cent shows in the past, beefed up security with uniformed and plainclothes officers both inside and outside the show.
But fans
