A band too rowdy for the Insane Clown Posse?
While it seems hard to believe, that is apparently the situation with the Kottonmouth Kings, who were dropped as the openers for ICP's fall tour over the weekend.
In a written statement, the Kings claim that they were fired for "excessive drug use, rowdiness and inciting riotous behavior," and that the final straw came when the Clown Posse discovered that its opening act was trading backstage passes for marijuana.
"We were broke as a joke and needed more smoke," Kings rapper Brad X explained in the statement, "what would you do?" While the band is on its forced hiatus from the road, turntablist Bobby B has headed into a studio to work on Mötley Crüe drummer Tommy Lee's solo album.
Representatives for the Insane Clown Posse confirmed that the Kottonmouth Kings were didsmissed for trading passes for drugs, among other things. The Clown Posse's fall tour will continue on as planned, with the group's next concert set for Thursday night at the Roseland Ballroom in New York City.
