Reports called for music mogul Jay-Z to be a headline act at Lighthouse Outreach Ministry this Saturday (April 10th) however the artist has yet to confirm.
According to The Trentonian Mayoral Candidate Shahid Watson said the rapper has not confirmed he will be here.
Watson is assisting with organizing a free “Stop the Violence” Rally in recent light of the horrific incident.
On March 28th a 15-year old girl prostituted herself and 7-year old sister for sex during a party.
The people involved in the incident have been charged with gang raping the 7-year old girl. Her sister is also being charged and held at a detention center along with five men.
Mayor Douglas Palmer said he would not attend the rally.
“Tired of protests. Tired of rallies,” Palmer said. “I’m going to spend that time being a father to my daughter,” Palmer told The Trentonian.
Already confirmed to attend the event is hip-hop pioneer and activist Russell Simmons and Al Sharpton.
The Stop the Violence rally is free and open to the public. Tickets will be available through The Lighthouse Outreach Ministry.

So what is the Rally suppose to do for those who would be the future participants of crimes like this? Rally’s for things like this aren’t effective in anything but a viable vehicle for a pity party.
If I was Jay-Z, I wouldn’t show up. There are other more things that can be address and solved with a man’s time and performance talent.
