McTeague's worries stem from the concert Jackson had with veteran rapper Jay-Z at the Molson Ampitheatre in 2003 where a young man was shot, in addition to a streak of gun violence Toronto has experienced since the summertime.
However, Volpe has not yet received any requests from the ministry to unauthorize the rap star's entrance into Canada.
Ontario Premier Dalton McGuinty also expressed his opinion on the matter, stating gun violence in Toronto is "much more complex than a rapper's lyrics and image". However, there are some students who feel differently.
