OTTAWA — Controversial rapper Rick Ross will no longer be performing in Ottawa on Tuesday following a storm of 
criticism over his most recent song that seems to glorify date rape.
The Carleton University Students’ Association announced late Friday that ticket refunds would be available — hours before its partner in hosting the Miami rapper posted on its Facebook page that the show was cancelled.
“Due to the protest surrounding Rick Ross latest song “U.O.E.N.O.” the concert Pandemonium scheduled (April 9), is now officially cancelled because of security concerns,” promoter Urban Jamz Ent. announced Friday night.
Urban Jamz had defended its decision to host Ross for more than a week after students and other concerned citizens launched a social media campaign to let Ross know he wasn’t welcome.
On Wednesday, the promoter posted on its Facebook page, “Count down to the biggest concert of the year! Rickyrozay live in Ottawa!”
CUSA councillor Dillon Black, who resigned from student government over the Ross concert, was pleased with the last-minute decision to cancel the show but disappointed over the reference to security concerns.
“I am less than pleased about no mention of concerned community members and rape culture but rather ‘security concerns’” Black said.

Proud to report that I have never heard any of his “music”. Looks like a slob.
