Officials at North Carolina A&T are removing the university’s name from a homecoming concert starring Gucci Mane. Some students had complained about Gucci’s lyrics and his gang affiliation. The Halloween night homecoming concert will go ahead as planned, but North Carolina A&T will not officially support or be associated with the event.

The University Chancellor stated, “We have agreed with the promoter to remove the name of North Carolina A&T State University from the event. While this does not absolve us of our connection to the event, it allows us, within our limited options, to take a moral stand while we simultaneously honor our legal obligations.”

The Chancellor went on to say, “The headliners booked for our student concert have generated dissonance among our student leaders and our constituents. This dissonance has provoked internal discussion and policy reviews which are both necessary and welcomed and which will undoubtedly make us better as a university community.”

In addition to Gucci Mane, North Carolina A&T’s homecoming concert will also feature Fabolous, Trey Songz, Keri Hilson and by OJ Da Juiceman.
