| Lady Sovereign feuds with donut |
A few months ago, a Lady Sovereign fan named Zach Slow successfully campaigned via his viral website, helpmegetrandomwithladysovereign.com, for a date with the rising young British rapper. Slow raised $10,000 on his website, which he and Sovereign spent on an SUV limo, a harbor cruise in a private yacht, and a luxury suite at a five-star hotel. Unfortunately, after their date their friendship soured, with the two exchanging insults in The San Francisco Chronicle. (Slow even claims Sovereign dissed his grandmother.) And now their feud has grown even more bizarre.
This past Tuesday night, a Slow comrade and amateur MC named "Jelly Donut" (who originally gained his 15 minutes of cyberfame rapping on Slow's website, begging Sovereign to go on the date) went to Sovereign's San Francisco concert--and hijinks quickly ensued. Believe it or not, Mr. Donut (who, it should be noted, attended the show wearing a giant foam-rubber donut cosutme) has actually released a statement about what transpired:
"We decided to take the beef to the next level the way most hip-hoppers do: a battle. It's not the easiest thing in the world to arrange a rap battle between a pastry and Jay Z's newest nuisance, so we decided to go guerilla. Yes, a hostile jelly flood at her January 8th show at Mezzanine in San Francisco.
"Zach and some other homies secured about 50 tickets to the show, while other friends got their own. We met at a secret warehouse (kind of like the bat cave, but with more stoners hanging around) to go over our plan of getting the Donut in the door and wreaking havoc during the dirty munchkin's performance. Amidst cheers and gulps of Sparks, our rag tag band of ninjas reworked the plan. We hit Mezzanine and there was an electric buzz in the air, with a hint of raspberry.
"With the Donut covered in 'I Love SOV' signs, there was no problem getting the giant thing in the door (although the donut suit is forever scarred having donned such profane accessories). Now we just had to spread the word and get krunk. |
