Jay-Z has been banned from performing a concert in Shanghai thanks to his use of bad language.
Shanghai Daily says the rapper has fallen foul of Chinese laws concerning references to violence, guns and drug dealers in his lyrics, and can no longer perform at the October 23 event.
In April, the Rolling Stones were asked not to perform any tracks containing suggestive lyrics. They agreed, with lead singer Mick Jagger noting: "Fortunately we have 400 more songs that we can play so it's not really an issue."
