Korean rapper Don Malik was set to perform at SXSW 2017 on March 17, but that had to be cancelled as he and his staff were denied entry into the US. Jerry.K, the CEO of Daze Alive (Don Malik’s label), explained the situation.

The articles by Pitchfork and SPIN showed that Don Malik was hardly alone in his plight. But aside from not being let into the country, the most shocking detail is the accusation that employees taunted Don Malik and crew with monkey imitations and racial slurs.
Sooo … that happened, I guess.
As an American, it’s honestly humiliating to see shit like this.
