Dave East was evidently forced to cancel an after party event in Boston on Friday night (November 29) after allegedly receiving death threats.
According to East’s Instagram Stories, the owner of Icon Nightclub on Warrenton Street claimed he fielded two anonymous phone calls from someone threatening to shoot the Harlem-bred rapper.
East appeared skeptical of the entire situation and made it clear he was disappointed in the club owner’s actions.
“The club owner to Icon in Boston said he got 2 anonymous phone calls that they was gone shoot me tonight lol so they ain’t let me in the club,” he wrote. “I know one thing, if a nigga gone do that he ain’t calling the club telling them. Sorry to whoever came out to see me and to the owner of Icon you a bozo.”
East added in another since-deleted Instagram post, “They Said I Was A Risk To The Club And I Had Death Threats So They Wouldn’t Allow Me In. With 500 Cops I Guess They Was Still Gone Shoot The Club Up. God Bless.”
The 31-year-old is currently performing shows in support of his new album Survival, which arrived earlier this month. The 20-track effort featured guest appearances from Nas, Rick Ross, Fabolous, Gunna, Lil Baby, Ty Dolla $ign and DJ Premier, among others.
Why are rappers so egocentric? The owner of the club may have done it not just for this wanna-be-gangster rapper but for the safety of others as well. You need to think about others, too, and not yourself alone, Mr. East.
Hopefully this wakes Dave east up and he go back to the style he had before he start claiming gang gang. Since 2017, all i been hearing crip this crip that lol he keep letting these industry gang members like Snoop gas him up, a real gangster from the streets gone check his ass
This could be bullshit and a cover up for the fact that they couldn’t sell tickets but hey who knows. Dave East is a good rapper but nothing excellent and now hes “gang gang”, survival had no memorable bangers like other NY classics had. People outside of NY most likely dont give a shit
I’m from Boston. We were all really excited for east. He big over here
Dont nobody wanna see hear dave east rap anyway. Dude mega boring same flow every song. All his shyt sounds the same. Boring
Dave East calling people Bozo the Clown when he can’t even write a coherent small paragraph! People need to stop being so ignorant and learn proper English. Talking like a ghetto hood rat isn’t impressing anyone.
