Times must be tough for DMX.
The rapper has hit the college campus tour!
On Wednesday night, DMX performed at Indiana University. The tickets were purchased for $25 through Lambda Chi Alpha.
Damn, $25? DMX is cheap….but not as cheap as Avril!
The concert was set to begin at 8:30pm, however, it didn’t start until an hour later because of DMX’s late arrival.
What a divo!
Unfortunately for concert goers, the concert was closed down after just three songs.
Lambda Chi Alpha had confirmed to the University that the concert music and noise would be over at 9:30pm (giving the audience an hour worth of music). When the music was heard past 9:30pm, police officers arrived to shut the concert down.
DMX was removed from the stage and State and Bloomington Police officers were called in when the crowd started to yell profanities. Crowd members continued to protest the concert’s end. That’s when things turned bad. Real bad. And rowdy!
Students in the front row of the concert were MACED!!!
Most students then rushed into Third Street, which had been temporarily closed.
Reports were then surfacing that some students rushed the stage, while other witnesses claim no one approached the stage.
IU student, Lauren Smith, claims the students “started throwing things at the police. It got pretty ugly and we thought people would start getting arrested. I never saw people on the stage. They threw trash, but that was about it.├óΓé¼┬¥
Sucks for the people that got maced. All to see DMX.
Was it worth it??????
Update:
A rep for DMX tells us….
“Regarding the events that took place at the Indiana University DMX Children Uniting Nations concert last night, DMX was not the instigator nor is he to blame for the concert ending early. The Bloomfield police cut his show short due to the agreement that Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity had with the University that the concert would stop at 9:30PM because of a noise ordinance law. DMX, management and the promoter were not aware of this law. DMX feels its unfortunate that he could not fully perform for this charity show and he hopes to return to Indiana University in the future for another show.”
