Nas cancelled a recent Hip-Hop Is Dead tour date in San Diego, CA amidst claims that he and wife Kelis encountered racist club employees, who treated them like terrorists.
“We came to the club, all excited. Couldn’t wait to get here. [The tour venues] have been sold out every night. We go to the venue and they ain’t let me in. I was outside with my wife and they treated us like terrorists,†Nas explains. “It was a little racist and we just don’t tolerate that. I just want everybody to know, don’t tolerate any form of racism. “There is no other side of the story. We had a whole bunch of security guys rush outside to me and my wife like we were terrorists. It’s not like I came with 50 guys or nothing. It was just me, my wife, my DJ and my staff for the Hip-Hop Is Dead tour and they came at us like we was Osama Bin Laden or somebody.†(Source)
