| T.O.N.E-z |
The rapper posted on his Twitter account this afternoon that he was coming back to western Kentucky to perform "live on stage."
Fred Stubblefied, of the Fohs Hall Community Arts Foundation, confirmed Friday evening that the rapper would indeed be performing next month along with local band Big Atomic.
Big Atomic was already scheduled to play at Fohs Hall that night, and the Community Arts Foundation added the Emmy-nominated T.O.N.E-z to the lineup in the aftermath of last week's late cancellation. Concerned parents and members of the faith-based community led a charge to have the rapper's appearance stopped just hours before it was scheduled last Friday.
Fohs Hall is a civic and community building about a block from downtown Marion. It hosts several concerts and other performing arts programs each year. Stubblefield said Fohs Hall seats 455 and will hold a few more, standing room only. Tickets will be sold in advance for $5. Concessions will be sold. A portion of the proceeds from the event will be donated to special needs children, Stubblefield said.
Stubblefield said the singer will perform a short set, including songs with non-explicit lyrics.
It was explicit lyrics found in some of his songs and music videos that created last week's uprising.
