Will Smith & Jay-Z Save Broadway!
Thankfully by opening their wallets and not their mouths. (Not that there is anything wrong with their musical stylings, but c'mon, this is Broadway! Some people just don't belong!)
Sources are saying that Jay-Z, along with Will Smith and his wife Jada Pinkett Smith are investing their hard-earned dollars into the much talked about Broadway musical Fela! Now, how much these new producers have invested is still unknown, but it has been suggested that they all intend to attend the opening night of the production next Monday.
For those of you who haven't heard of the show yet, Fela is a musical based around Afrobeat icon and political activist Fela Anikulapo Kuti.
Hopefully, it will turn out to be a decent investment for the trio. Broadway is a finicky business! Just ask Bono!

Was She Joking??? About Rape?????
for each million Will donates, does he get to put a line in the script about Scientology?
"Not that there is anything wrong with their musical stylings, but c'mon, this is Broadway! Some people just don't belong" HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
And here I was thinking this story was going to be about these boys both being on the DL.
Represent bitches!

WHAT?!! 'Some people just don't belong' — did you serioulsy write that? First off, you already barely cover people of color on your site (but claim to be such a suporter of your Latin brothers and sisters). I serioulsy think your getting a little too UP YOUR OWN ASS PEREZ.
Who's who ?
I saw this play in NYC off broadway last year. It was phenomenal. I am a huge fan of Fela Kuti, and the production was AMAZING. I'm really glad it's on Broadway now…
As for, "Not that there is anything wrong with their musical stylings, but c'mon, this is Broadway! Some people just don't belong!" That was the most painfully ignorant and racist statement I've heard in awhile. I've lost a lot of respect for you and your website.

1st off F * * K Perez…….but the statement about some people just dont belong, I didnt think anything of it until i saw the comments and the people that made the comments are probably black so that explains why you guys think like that immediately…..but i dont think think thats what he meant but again……..F * * K Perez
i saw it a month ago in previews and it is FANTASTIC! I've seen anything like it before.

"Some people just don't belong: that sounds like something you would here in the 1950's. Just awful how dare you blacks has contributed alot to broadway diddy did a great job when he was in a rasin in the sun everytime we try to do something psotive there is a asshole like you trying to bloack fuck you you god amn pig
"….Some people just don't belong." I don't care if that comment is referring to their race, musical stylings, cultural upbringing, or sexual orientation…it is an ignorant statement that should never be made! Especially by someone who fights for the rights of homosexuals and their right to "BELONG!". Perez you really do suck, now I really do believe you deserved to get punched in the face. Good for Will-I-Am!!!!
everytime we try to do something positive there is an asshole like you trying to block us fuck you you godd amn pig. Perez is a member of the KKK hey perez where's you sheet.
Jazz clams.
what do you mean some people just don't belong in Broadway? I agree that some genres should be avoided (rap isn't included), but the people? ur an asshole fareal
Re: TimLee – why do you read his website..?
Sounds like some discrimination here Perez, you gaylord!
Some people don't belong? racist perez? i know where you belong-in a pig pen-
Fela = awesome, Jay-Z = OK, Will Smith = trick please.
This does not mean that they saved broadway. Broadway does not need saving. They just invested in one production. Why would this concern you to the point were you have to be thankful! Your headlines are so stupid.
In order to fight the bile from rising in my throat every time I see Will Smith, (or Tom Cruise, for that matter) I tell myself that one day these boys will die and be reborn as young women in a Scientology compound, forced to have abortions and sign on as "workers" for another million goddamned years
It's what helps when I want to put a bullet in their selfish, greedy and entirely unevolved human brains.
P.S. I don't give a flying fuck about Broadway.
can someone volunteer to kick perez's ass once again.
