Shortly after, he released a statement on how the lyrics in the songs that SJWs are pointing to is his artistic expression: An editor for the school’s student newspaper called him “a blatant misogynist” with “a history of transphobia, according to Pitchfork.
He was supposed to perform at George Washington University‘s Spring Fling, but outrage reached a fever-pitch when students discovered he wrote a song called “Consensual Rape” in 2011.
This is actually the second time this has happened to Bronson this spring. Through communication with the administration, it was decided that bringing Action Bronson to campus was the best option at the time, with the addition of a legal addendum, which would forbid Action Bronson from performing any songs that went against the College’s mission.
#ACTION BRONSON SHOW CANCELLED FULL#
Our concerns about bringing Action Bronson to campus were brought to other administrators and our contract was looked over by the College’s legal counsel who could not find a way out of our binding contract without losing the full amount of money that was promised in the contract. The result of this vote was taken to our administrative advisor from the S.A.I.L. We would also like to state that we do not think that his lyrics are representative of all of Hip-Hop music and Hip-Hop culture. As a result, there was an overpowering majority to support the removal of Action Bronson. Following news that Action Bronson was being removed as the headlining artist for Spring Weekend at The George Washington University, our executive-board committee voted on March 31st to remove Action Bronson from our Spring Weekend concert because of his lyrics, music, videos, and the misogyny, homophobia, and transphobia that they promote. We began to create a strategy to keep members of our community safe and began drafting our response to the backlash that we anticipated. In the beginning of March we were made aware of the severity and depth of some of Action Bronson’s lyrics. But the college backed out on their contract after “we were made aware of the severity and depth of some of Action Bronson’s lyrics.”Ī petition at Trinity received 1,265 signatures and stated, according to Billboard, that “we believe that Action Bronson headlining Spring Weekend is an endorsement of violence, specifically against women and minorities.” Here’s how the school phrases it in a Facebook announcement about the decision: Iconic Queens rapper, chef, an F*ck That’s Delicious host Action Bronson was scheduled to perform at Trinity’s Spring Weekend 2016 on April 30. First there was the “outrage” over Trump 2016 sidewalk chalk, now there’s SJW anger over a school inviting one of hip hop’s most lovable rappers to campus for a performance. South Park just played out in real life on a college campus… again.
