Wyclef Jean To Headline Controversial Concert At University of Colorado On 4/20

(AllHipHop News) Wyclef Jean will headline a controversial concert at the University of Colorado on April 20, also known as “4/20.”

Wyclef will hit the stage on “4/20,” which is also a popular marijuana smoking holiday.

According to the University, the $150,000 concert featuring Wyclef is meant to serve as a distraction from smoking marijuana that day.

“We are asking students to support us in the effort to protect the reputation of our institution and do it by attending a great free concert,” said Carly Robinson.

A variety of rappers celebrate the holiday, in particular Cypress Hill and Snoop Dogg, who is even releasing a free marijuana themed EP on the holiday.

But officials at the University of Colorado claim the annual celebration has gotten out of control at the University.

According to The Daily Camera newspaper in Boulder, the annual gathering at the University of Colorado drew over 10,000 people last year and is the largest celebration on a college campus in the country.

The day of the concert featuring Wyclef, students will be find up to $100 if they are caught smoking on campus.

The Wyclef Jean concert on 4/20 takes place from 2 to 6 p.m. at the Coors Events Center at CU-Boulder.

Organizers are planning to stop entry at 4 p.m., to ensure those the venue do not light up at 4:20 p.m.

Shawty Lo was reportedly going to be featured on the show with his girlfriend Ecreia, along with all ten of the rap star’s off-spring.

But the rap star’s criminal past is preventing him from being featured on “Love & Hip Hop.”

“I was supposed to be on the reality show, because of my record VH1 won’t let me be on there,” Shawty Lo told AllHipHop.com in an exclusive interview. “I got 28 arrests, I been convicted 4 times.”

While rappers like T.I. and 50 Cent have been featured on VH1 despite their arrest records, Shawty Lo claimed that his past was a bit different from the aforementioned artists.

“The difference with me and the other rappers is I got a lot of violence on my record,” Shawty Lo told AllHipHop.com. “People got shot, I didn’t just get caught with drugs, I was really doing crazy stuff in the streets. “It’s a blessing. Thanks to the number #1 judge up stairs.”

The official cast of “Love & Hip Hop” has yet to be revealed.
