DJ Jazzy Jeff Booted Off Stage Mid-Set During DJ AM Tribute

Legendary party-rocker DJ Jazzy Jeff was stopped mid-performance in Las Vegas last night while DJing a charity event in honor of his former partner, the late DJ AM.

According to reports, the management at Surrender nightclub were "unhappy" with the musical selections Jeff was playing and made the decision to pull him mid-set. Jeff later tweeted about the incident, saying "Funny when people r having a good time but management isn't..can u say...The Right Party at the Wrong Place...F--- it...AM Lives."

Known for being both one of the most universally respected and beloved DJ's, Jeff was donating his time in honor of his late friend, who held a DJing residency at Rain nightclub in Vegas prior to his death.

Unfortunately this is not the first time that Jeff has been forcibly removed from the stage while DJing. Jeff was similarly disrespected during the Kansas City stop on the Bacardi B-Live tour in June of 2009 when event organizers complained about his hype man Skillz' alleged usage of "gang signs" while Jeff played Biz Markie's unrequited love anthem "Just a Friend."

Jeff has yet to comment about the incident (beyond his tweet).

the new racism makes it look like blacks are disrespected when in fact they are disrespectful, and it makes them look like the victim when they are in fact the predator, and it makes them look opressed when they are the ones who promote hatred and racism. Obama is a perfect example of this. I have seen Jazzy Jeff and he isnt the squeaky clean image you want to say he is...he has no respect, which is why he got kicked out of the club. Sorry, the truth is the truth!!! So put on your big boy pants and stop whining that he got kicked out when he deserved it.

"The thief, (Satan), cometh not but for to steal, to kill, and to destroy. I (Jesus), am come, that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly" (John 10:10). So therefore, if you want life instead of death, leave the bars, find a good Bible preaching Church, and turn it over to Jesus Christ, before it is eternally too late.

There is no future and no reward for the wicked, but there is eternal bliss in heaven with Jesus Christ and fellow believers, along with undeserved rewards. One receives God's free gift of eternal life, the moment he or she receives Jesus Christ as their Lord, and Savior. (I have a mansion, just over the hilltop).

"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him, should not perish, but have everlasting life.

"For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through him, might be saved" (John 3:16,17).

"I (Jesus), am the way, the truth, and the life. No man cometh unto the Father, but by me" (John 14:6).

If there were any other way to make life happen, Jesus would not have had to leave His glory above, and come all the way down to earth to die on the cross for our sins.

As a fan, I'd like to clarify that he is not a rapper. He's a DJ and producer who has worked with Will Smith, Kenny Latimore, Jill Scott, Musiq, Floetry, Michael Jackson, and several others. As for cutting the set, it happens, but I wonder what the expectation was for a DJ AM Tribute in Vegas....
