Florida Sheriff Sour Over Kendrick & Luda Performing at FGCU (@kendricklamar @ludacris)

Lee County, Florida Sheriff Mike Scott evidently doesn’t care for Hip Hop too much, and would prefer to keep it away from his county.

The officer sent an e-mail to the president of Florida Gulf Coast University, protesting the school’s decision to invite Kendrick Lamar and Ludacris to their Eaglepalooza. Scott questioned why the school chose to invite artists like Ludacris and Kendrick Lamar, that use the n-word and other profanity, instead of someone nice like, lets say, Carrie Underwood.

“I am completely confused, and I asked Dr. Bradshaw, a black man, to please explain how Paula Deen uses the word 30 years ago and gets nationally excoriated and these people use the word every single day, every other word out their mouth, in every single song and we are going to welcome them to a county park with the endorsement of FGCU,” said Scott.

When explaining his position, he also mentioned that he won’t be approving any extra officers for this event.

“We are not going to waltz out there like we would for a baseball game or a Carrie Underwood concert,” said Scott.

In an email back, Bradshaw makes the point that in over 200 college appearances, Kendrick Lamar and Ludacris have never had a reported incident of violence. According to him, these are the artists the students want, and that’s who they’ll get.
