Jay Z, Madonna and Timberlake Are NOT Joining Boycott Against Florida

Representatives for Madonna, Jay Z, Justin Timberlake and several other stars have strongly denied reports suggesting the musicians were joining Stevie Wonder in his boycott of the state of Florida following the George Zimmerman verdict.
According to a list that surfaced on music blog American Urban Radio Networks, the 63-year-old singer enlisted several star performers, including Kanye West and the Rolling Stones, to join him in his refusal to play in Florida until the state rectifies its Stand Your Ground Law.
The report, which was picked up by MSN, the Huffington Post and the Wrap, claimed Rod Stewart, Usher and Rihanna were also boycotting the state.
“I don’t know where this list came from,” one rep said.
Wonder made headlines last week when he announced at his concert in Quebec City, “I decided today that until the Stand Your Ground law is abolished in Florida, I will never perform there again.”
“As a matter of fact, wherever I find that law exists, I will not perform in that state or in that part of the world,” he added.
Zimmerman’s acquittal last week in the shooting death of Trayvon Martin sparked outrage across the country, and Wonder was one of the few entertainers to take a stand.
The American Urban Radio Networks site, which cited individuals close to Wonder’s camp in its story, could not be reached for comment.

Unhappy Jay Z calls George Zimmerman a “f*cking mall cop”

Rap mogul Jay Z was among those who were shocked and saddened when a Florida jury acquitted George Zimmerman in the shooting death of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin.
Jay Z told Rap Radar’s Elliott Wilson he didn’t sleep for 2 days after hearing the not guilty verdict.
“We all knew there was still racism but for it to be so blatant… Didn’t Trayvon have a right to stand his ground?” he said, referring to the controversial self defense law.
Jay Z blasted wannabe cop Zimmerman for racially profiling the unarmed Miami teenager.
“Professionals are taught not to profile,” he said. “This guy is a novice; this guy is a f*cking mall cop. You can’t assess a situation and figure out what you’re going to do, that’s not what you do for a living.”
Jay Z and his wife, singer Beyonce joined thousands of demonstrators at a Justice for Trayvon march in New York last weekend.
The 43-year-old father-of-2 said he hoped Trayvon’s tragic death brings about a change in the law that transports America back to its lawless wild wild west past.
“Even that Stand Your Ground law; you can have a fight with someone, and if they are running away you can shoot them and kill them and you’re fine. What?!”
Jay Z added: “Hopefully this is the moment that changed that law and changed the way we interact with each other, and you hate that a child had to be sacrificed for that.”
