Alicia Keys, Usher Join Stevie Wonder in Boycotting Florida

It’s official! Florida is the most hated states in all of the United States of America. After blotching two presidential elections, allowing the mother of a murdered five year to go free and now the acquittal of a man believed to have shot and killed a teen based upon his color while claiming self defense, Florida has official been put on notice and called out for their obvious neglect to protect the innocent.

After calling for the boycott of Florida, Stevie Wonder has been joined by many top acts in standing their ground and not perform in the Sunshine State.

According to April Ryan of AprilDRyan.com Alicia Keys, Usher, Kanye West, Jay Z,  Justin Timberlake, R. Kelly, Rihanna, Madonna, Will I AM, Erykah Badu Pattie Labelle,the Rolling Stones and Rod Stewart are among 20 musical acts said to be joining Stevie Wonder’s boycott of the state of Florida until a change to the Stand Stand Your Ground Law is made.

Some of the artists listed have already canceled concerts in the Sunshine State after recent events.

“I decided today that until the Stand Your Ground law is abolished in Florida, I will never perform there again,” Wonder announced at a concert earlier this month. “As a matter of fact, wherever I find that law exists, I will not perform in that state or in that part of the world.”

Roughly 30 states have some version of the controversial law.
