In a letter to The Hustler, The Music Group contended Wildhorse Saloon
has been falsely advertising an after-party for Kanye West as a part of
Homecoming and Commodore Quake.
The after-party, as advertised in The Hustler on Wednesday, will be
held at the Wildhorse Saloon and feature a fashion show and personal
appearance by West.
The Music Group says flyers have been handed out on campus claiming
West will be performing and this is a Vanderbilt-sanctioned event, but
the group says both of those statements are false.
The Music Group has been in discussion with West's representation
through their booking agent and has been assured West will not be at
this event, they wrote.
However, Wildhorse management contends otherwise.
"There is a contract in place for Kayne West to make an appearance at
the bar around midnight, and although he won't perform, he will
interact with the crowd," Wildhorse manager Mike Davis said.
Davis also said he knew nothing about flyers distributed on campus Thursday but hopes "students come out to this great event."
Despite this, The Music Group urges students not to buy tickets to this
event and is upset Wildhorse would engage in what they believe to be
false advertising.
