Rapper Waka Flocka Flame says he is "disgusted" and has canceled his upcoming performance at the University of Oklahoma after fraternity members there were filmed reciting a racist chant this weekend.
Members of the OU Sigma Alpha Epsilon chapter were seen chanting about lynchings and using racist epithets in a video leaked online Sunday. The university and the national SAE fraternity have both taken action against the chapter, which has been closed on the Oklahoma campus.
In a statement posted to his Instagram account, Waka Flocka writes that he's "disgusted and disappointed in the actions of the SAE fraternity at the University of Oklahoma." The rapper was scheduled to perform at the school next month, but says in his statement that he is canceling the show.
"SMFH.. I know for a fact the whole school and SAE don't agree with those kids actions so know that I'm not madd at the whole #SAE just those disgusting kids!!!!!! #WFF We can't change history but we damn sure can create our own future #DeathToRacism," he writes in the Instagram caption.

President Boren was going to allow Waka Flocka to perform on campus. If so, he allows obscenity, racist words, and sexism on Oklahoma's campus.
All that said, I agree with him kicking the fraternity off campus. I just have a problem with the double standards and hypocrisy found on our college campuses.
Sorry, here are the links to the videos:

Waka Flocka Flame! For real?
Okey-dokey Waka Flocka.
Rappers, of course, never use racist or sexist language in their “songs.”
It’s okay when a “rapper” pimps that crap but don’t you dare let a bunch of college, white crackahs do any talking trash. Waka Flaka Woo is a hypocrite with a big mouth.
He can say 'em, you know...he's entitled.
I wonder if this guy will send a similar angry letter to Principal Rouse in Chicago. After all, his actions are FAR more racist than a stupid chant.
Who?
Waka Waka!
Waka Flocka Flame! For real?
I had never heard of them but I read they were the rappers playing in Panama City Beach where Dak Prescott and the other Mississippi State football players got jumped.
I googled Waka Flocka and saw where they had issued a statement saying they were canceling their concert at OU. I then clicked on one of their videos. They didn’t appear to be a group I would want playing on college campuses. :>)
The Tantrum is probably more newsworthy than the performance could ever hope to be. Winning!
Those two would be ripped arm to arm. Hanging would be a step up from the urban mob would do.
This is a war and it isn't about color or race.
This is the culture war that Obama and Holder and Sharpton have been laying the groundwork for.
Thug versus civilization.
Ahh...
Hope he really came down on silly little rhymes that feature the n-word
The OU president should be embarrassed that they were going to be allowed to play on their campus.
My first inclination was to post lyrics from one of Wacky Bird Flame’s rap songs.
Then I read the lyrics...just too vile.
