Somebody give the Las Vegas “Magic Marketplace” a hand. The fashion show, held twice a year, is the hip place to be to show off your wares, if you are a designer or clothing line.
And, yesterday, the Magic show kicked rapper “The Game” out. Finally, someone takes a stand against rap violence. “The Game” claims he was kicked out because he is suspected in being involved in the shooting of gangsta rap mogul Suge Knight at this weekend’s . But whether he was involved or not, “The Game” has ties to gangs and was involved in a feud earlier this year with rapper 50 Cent that resulted in a person being shot outside a New York City radio station.
While the rest of the world–including the fashion world–embraces hip-hop thuggery, it’s amazing the Vegas Magic fashion show finally took a stand against it. It wasn’t all courage, though. If violence resulted with “The Game” at the fashion confab, there would be expensive lawsuits to contend with.
