Nas fires back at Bill O'Reilly

Dotmusic Fri Sep 7, 8:00 AM ET

Nas has hit back at Fox News pundit Bill O'Reilly, who claimed that his inclusion at a concert dedicated to the Virginia Tech massacre is insulting to the memories of the victims.

O'Reilly claimed that picking an artist such as Nas for the Concert For Virginia Tech, which took place last night (September 6), "insults the victims, the university, and the entire commonwealth."

The rapper was set to join the Dave Matthews Band, John Mayer, and Phil Vassar.

However, Nas has now hit back at O'Reilly, claiming he is racist.

In an interview with MTV, he said: "Everybody has a marketing plan; his marketing plan is racism.

"It just shows you what bloodsuckers do: they abuse something like the Virginia Tech [tragedy] for show ratings. You can't talk to a person like that."

The rapper defended his lyrics as a reflection of the reality of America's streets and ghettos.

He added: "I had a best friend killed, plenty other friends killed. I been through it. I seen it.

"I think that's what makes it important that I come through and show love to those people [at Virginia Tech]."
