Song lyrics make light of a local slaying.
The rap world and the Ivy League are colliding over a line in a Young Jeezy and Pusha T song that refers to the murder of Yale grad student Annie Le.
The song, “Illin” does not mention Annie Le by name, but mentions the horrific way in which she was stuffed in wall after she was murdered in September 2009. She was found on what was supposed to be her wedding day.
The lyric and is likely to get backlash from the Yale community and beyond.
The blog IvyGate weighed in, calling the lyric tasteless for making light of a murder that shook the Yale community and beyond.
NBC Connecticut reached out to Pusha T’s booking agent, who said he would be sending a statement, but nothing was immediately released.
