HARTFORD, Conn. — Students at Connecticut’s Trinity College have canceled a concert by rapper Action Bronson, saying his music and videos promote misogyny and hatred against gay and transsexual people.
The leaders of the student-run group that booked him as the headliner for Trinity’s Spring Weekend concert on April 30 say in a Thursday Facebook post they decided to cancel after an online petition and a conversation on campus raised “overwhelming concerns” about Bronson. They also apologized for any emotional harm caused by the decision to book Bronson, whose latest album is called “Mr. Wonderful.”
A spokesman for Bronson hasn’t returned a message seeking comment.
A Bronson appearance at George Washington University was canceled last month over similar concerns.
