St. Joe’s Concert A ‘Fiasco’

Saint Joseph’s had its spring concert last Thursday, and the headline sums it all up: Fiasco at the Fieldhouse!

Apparently, one of the opening acts for Lupe Fiasco was Trey Songz, and his set was first delayed due to a problem with his DJ’s equipment. And then Songz went and just walked off the stage when some punk St. Joe’s kids starting shooting rubber bands at him, shouting “St. Joe’s sucks” and the like. He said he feared for his safety.

According to Sean Morntahen,’11, before Songz left the stage for a second time, he asked who in the audience was throwing things at him, and a male student raised his hand. This was when Trey left the stage, went to his bodyguard, and then the body guard escorted both parties outside. Chris Mayer, ‘11, was standing near the stage barrier and saw the bodyguard grab the male’s arm. He could hear arguing and yelling while the three were outside the Fieldhouse from Trey’s microphone.

Both witnesses did not see any punches thrown or anything suggesting a physical altercation. A freshman female sociology major told The Hawk that Songz started arguing with his manager and that it was his manager and the bodyguard who held him back from approaching the male student.

Also be sure to read this student’s column where he complains about the concert and then reveals he didn’t have to pay for his ticket.
