President Barack Obama warmly greeted PSY at the White House Sunday night, despite the rapper's anti-American lyrics |
You tube sensation, Gangnam style artiste PSY, performed at a
White House charity event on Sunday, and this has pissed off a lot of Americans. Why, you may ask. There is a video circulating the internet which showed the rapper at a concert back in 2004 singing an anti-American song titled 'Dear Americans' with the lyrics "kill those fucking Yankees who
have been torturing Iraqi captives…kill them all slowly and painfully,' "Kill those f---ing Yankees who ordered them to torture ... Kill their
daughters, mothers, daughters-in-law and fathers ... Kill them all
slowly and painfully.” and smashing toy American tanks.
Psy apologized as soon as the news broke, claiming the concert was years ago and his words were a reaction to the Iraq war but Americans called for PSY to be removed from the lineup of artistes to perform at the annual 'Christmas in Washington' benefit at the White House. Instead, he not only performed but was also personally greeted by the president on Sunday night. Do you think it was wrong for the Obama administration to allow PSY perform infront of the President?
