Ying Yang Twins Concert Shuts Down
Florida University Atlantic officials have cancelled the Ying Yang Twins performance after citing lewd and obscene lyrics throughout the duo’s short career. The announcement came a day after the school confirmed that the Twins would perform. Several students had expressed their approval of the Atlanta duo's appearance, upon hearing the news.
“That's a pretty good group,” defensive back Quincy Skinner told Florida’s Sun Sentinel. “They should draw a nice crowd."
But even though they may have seemed welcome at the time, the university stood firm by their decision.
"It's the right decision," said Mary Cameron, director of FAU's Women's Studies program. "Everybody recognizes those lyrics are offensive and degrading to women."
The decision to initially have the concert was based on the idea that the group had clean versions of their various hits and in doing so would draw a larger crowd to the football games.
"We were assured that the concert would be a family-friendly show," Angelos said. "But the university does not want to appear to be endorsing the kind of language found in their other songs [on the albums]."
