Lil’ Wayne has been
barred from performing at Morgan State University and may face criminal charges,
after a homecoming concert went awry when the rapper’s entourage threw money into
the crowd.The
sold-out concert took place at Hill Field House during the university’s homecoming
concert on Thursday (Oct. 19), which also featured Busta Rhymes. During
Lil’ Wayne’s performance, members of his entourage tossed $20, $10, $5 and $1
bills into the crowd of mostly college students. In the rush to retrieve the cash,
two women sustained leg injuries and another woman fainted. All
were treated at Johns Hopkins Hospital."We’re
evaluating it from a public safety standpoint and a criminal standpoint,"
Morgan State University Police Chief Adrian Wiggins told the Baltimore Sun.Morgan
State University Spokesman Clinton R. Coleman compared the rapper’s actions to
"standing in a crowded movie theater and shouting fire." "It
is something we regret that he did," Coleman said. "We regret the injuries
that were caused. And we’re happy that most of the people in the crowd acted responsibly."
