  • The show that rapper Sada Baby was scheduled to perform at on July 5 at the Blind Pig in Ann Arbor was abruptly canceled after staff texted his promoter Polo Frost and said they were having staffing issues. Then, they rescheduled another band to play the same day. Only one difference stood out to Polo Frost: race.

    Venue didn’t want the liability of potential violence, understandable. But you did take their money, you owe them a refund, simple as that.

      All different races are in the midst of societal collapse, mental health issues, and substance abuse in this nation and the West in general.
      "Love" of rap music is either a symptom of this or a contributing factor.

    Tell him to show the contract. Probably wasn't one. I used to work at blind pig and their far from racist. The last time sada baby came he brought around 50 uncooperative guests who rushed the door and refused to show ID. You'd have to pay me $200 a hour to do that again. And I'm a hip-hop head

      Verbal contracts are upheld. All he has to do is show any confirmation of the booking through text, email etc. An advertisement showing he reserved the venue on the said date and time will be the smoking gun if they don’t have a legitimate reason for backing out.

    Uhhh just so ya'll know. The talent buyer for the Blind Pig is as black dude.
    He's also a very well respected independent promoter (who works with a number of classic venues around Detroit and has been doing so for 15+ years). He's also a great dude who is very supportive of Michigan artists.
    Also the door you're trying to get in is the loading door. It's always locked.

      Venue has a right to deny performers, even if they think it’s racist. Issue is they knew the performers and its target patrons, took the money, cancelled, and didn’t refund their money.
