Shitty for the promoters but I personally think it's a really bad idea to go public like this, good luck booking any Chicago DJs in future now! Think how many top DJs from Chicago and Detroit and elsewhere who are either friends with Louis or see him as a hero, not sure how they would react to such public mud slinging.
