Nas concert a no go in Canada New York rapper Nas has had a show canceled on him because the venue where the show was to be held, doesn't condone rap music. The concert which was to be held in the Ottawa Congress Center was part of an election drive for Canadian students. But on discovering the students from Carleton University and the University of Ottawa had invited Nas to perform, the Center withdrew their invitation for them to host their show at the venue. There have been mixed reports as to why the concert can't be held at the venue, but it has been stated that Nas's lyrics are not something the center would promote. Kanye springs a leak
