Waka Flocka Flame can't tolerate racism. The rapper has scrapped his upcoming concert at University of Oklahoma after a video of its Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity members singing racist chant surfaced online over the weekend.
Flocka explained his decision in an Instagram photo he uploaded on Monday, March 9. "I must say I'm disgusted and disappointed in the actions of the SAE fraternity at University of Oklahoma and I will be canceling my scheduled performance for them next month," he said in the post. "Racism is something I will not tolerate."
SAE's racist video, which was shared on YouTube on Sunday, shows several students singing lines like, "There will never be a n****r in SAE/ You can hang him from a tree, but he can never sign with me."
After the ten-second clip went viral, University of Oklahoma immediately severed ties with the fraternity. "To those who have misused their free speech in such a reprehensible way, I have a message for you. You are disgraceful," said OU president David Boren in a statement.
