Common will perform at Duke University in April, even though last year he dissed three members of its lacrosse team who had been accused of raping a stripper.
Common rapped about the incident, "You know I never get lost, yo f*ck them damn n--gers from Duke lacrosse."That just happened to piss off officials at Duke but they had already booked Common a year in advance and had a contract to uphold.
Chairwoman of the Last Day of Class event, Beth Higgins, told AllHipHop.com, "We obviously do not condone or endorse anything he said at the time, but we did book him and sign a contract that is legally binding on the basis of his talent and student appeal.
"The agent said it would not be a problem with Common to play here. He made these statements two days after the lacrosse case went public...He's still a really great artist and willing to play at Duke."
