According to Livesteez, the Obama Camp has asked that the entertainers to stay the hell back right now:

Unfortunately, some of Barack Obama’s biggest backers won’t be in attendance tonight for his historical celebratory meeting. The Obama campaign has reportedly asked some of his famous supporters to stay away from his rally Tuesday night in Chicago’s Grant Park, according to the Chicago Sun-Times. Although the campaign is reportedly grateful for the high-profile support, several prominent celebs have reportedly been asked “politely but very firmly” to skip the rally and focus on attending the Obama inauguration in January, should that occur, as reported by MTV.com. An Obama insider reportedly told the newspaper’s Bill Zwecker that Jay-Z, Mary J. Blige, Sean “Diddy” Combs, Susan Sarandon, Tim Robbins and Ben Affleck were among those asked to stay away from tonight’s festivities. “There really only needs to be one star in Grant Park, and that’s Barack,” the insider reportedly said. “There will be plenty of time for a new President Obama to be surrounded by famous fans, all hopeful about a new administration.” However, the paper reported that early Obama supporter Oprah Winfrey is confirmed to make an appearance at the rally in Grant Park. It is also expected that Winfrey will be with Obama as well as his family and inner circle throughout the night at their hotel in Chicago.

YES WE CAN!!

Fall back right now fam. A lot of you bandwagon celebrities only stepped up when it looked like Barack was going to win, when it was “safe and cool”. SMH.

Pictures below of them shucking and jiving at the Promote The Vote Concert in Philly yesterday.

Pop the presidential hood for more…

    almost time to go home

    Why Oprah and NOT Diddy or Jay Z or even Susan Sarandon? hmmmm… Seems a bit strange to me that his camp says Obama needs to be the only star on the night yet he invites Oprah Winfrey to the rally? Makes no sense.

    I am surprized. Typical BLACK POWER. When a BLACK MAN got a “cake” everybody is not WELLCOME. Bravo OBAMA, I can only wish you GOOD LUCK. Next time you will see everyone crying because he doesnt get a good function(employement) from Obama.

  • Pynk

    Hannibal… you’re trippin’

    and at first reading this it pissed me off but then I understand. I feel the Obama Camp for saying that. Only one star to shine tonight!!!

  • Hannibal (MCCAIN WILL BE THE NEXT PRESIDENT)

    PYNK

    HOW AM I TRIPPIN? YOUR NOT REALLY VOTING FOR OBAMA ARE U?

  • Ghost

    Sure some of them have support Obama, but some have done it and it backfired.

    Would you want say Josh Howard of the Dallas Mavericks there?? After he said F American and support Obama?

    Remember rap music is still look upon as bad by most folks and why would you want Diddy there or clowns that rapped support Obama and bust a cap in Negro’s behind?

    And if Obama wins. I wouldn’t want to be there since the folks that might want him dead would be in full force (and no I’m not talking about the KKK-I mean some of US).

  • Lala

    I don’t blame Obama either. Diddy acts like a damn fool. It’s embarassing. Jay-z has a little more sense about him. I can see Diddy now trying to steal the spot light, acting stupid, trying to be seen. He acts like a ghetto ass fool with new money (well, that’s exactly what he is!)

    On another note, is anybody else embarassed by D.L. Hughley’s show on CNN? The only black man on there, and his show consists of a bunch of bafoonary. And we wonder why white people won’t take us seriously.

  • Davina

    It’s a politic night people!!! NOT A HOLLYWOOD PARTY.

    We the stars all the time tonight we don’t need them at Chicago!

    I know they contributed to this election as many anymous American citizens did.

    Oprah is the most powerfull woman in America She DESERVES her place.

  • Davina

    *WE see the stars

  • White Devil

    Does he think they are gonna get stupid at the party? Maybe they shouldn’t go on the stage, but why not in the audience. If he wins, he will be the first African American president. Soon to be the most powerful man in the world. Who does he think is going to outshine him? And he never seemed like he was one to worry about things like that anyway.

  • Pynk

    Of course I voted for Obama. Dang… I wasn’t gonna vote for an old dude that is waaaaay out of touch. We need culture and a different point of view in the White House.

    PUERTO RICANS FOR OBAMA…. thought you knew son!

  • Pynk

    @white devil…

    it ain’t Obama that cares it’s his camp and his people around him saying this. Obama prob wants them there.

  • Hannibal (MCCAIN WILL BE THE NEXT PRESIDENT)

    @PYNK

    WELL IM SORRY TO HEAR THAT, BUT YOU ARE GOING TO BE ONE OF MANY OBAMA SUPPORTERS WHO WILL BE DISAPPOINTED, I STILL GOT LOVE FOR U THOUGH…

  • chaka1

    The point is, they can still show up, but they won’t be going backstage, sending shout outs or getting the VIP treatment. They will have to stand in the crowds with the rest of us. Obama’s possible victory will be significant to world history and is a serious affair. He will also have to make funeral arrangements for his grandmother at the same time.

  • soldiergirl

    STAY STRONG, I agree 100% w/the OBAMA CAMP, they should not be allowed to garner the spotlight tonight, t(J-Z, Beyonce, here wre many, many times some of these celebraties

  • nique ta mere

    i agree with Hannibal. i just don’t see america electing a black men just yet. they aren’t ready. maybe in 10 years. too bad cause obama ran a good campaign for a rookie

  • Fresh Air

    Kevin, I feel ya. These people have campaigned for Obama and now they can’t attend the celebration tonight. I don’t think that is right.

  • Pynk

    @Hannibal… I still got love for yer crazy confused ass too! But deep down I know you really voted for Obama!!

  • ShavonDenise

    “shucking and jiving”?? WOOOOW… I didnt know that Blacks would be accused of doing that when they’re recognizing their own kind. Good luck to all the entertainers who raised their voice because alot of people only listen to hip hop stations/BET and not CNN lets be real. They finally do something postive and yall call them coons still???

  • http://n/a Txhustla15 ( Austin’s Finest )

    @Pynk – its all good shawty the poll numbers are looking good despite all the widespread voter suppression across the country. Hmm wondering why there is concerted effort to keep people from voting if they were not afraid of the obvious outcome.

    Sides half the folk voting for the other side dont even understand the concept of one gets elected for office. If certain states fall then it is in the bag ( i.e. mathematically impossible..) but I will stay skeptical till its all over and done with. We need some rican’s down here in the A – make my week betta

  • nick

    Of course Oprah is invited. She did that very powerful endorsement for him monthes ago. Oprah=power ppl

  • Hannibal (MCCAIN WILL BE THE NEXT PRESIDENT)

    PYNK

    IM GLAD TO HEAR THAT, BUT MCCAIN IS GONNA WIN…BARACK HAD A GREAT RUN…

  • reddnwood

    The more things change the more they remain the same meaning that even with this great celebration that’s coming for our people & the country we still can’t REALLY ENJOY IT & BE HAPPY FOR FEAR OF DISPLEASING THE WHITE FOLKS AND/OR EMBARRASS OURSELVES!

  • dayg715

    i totally agree. the last thing obama needs is diddy’s coon ass shuckin’ and jivin’ all over the place. fall back indeed. and before you people start cursing him out, he told the white celebrities to fall back too, not just the hip hop ones.

    @Hannibal, are you blind? He’s winning everywhere!!! I’m gonna seriously cry when he wins. I’m so excited.

  • Beezy Baby

    I dont know man, i kinda agree with the Obama camp. We can all party like rockstars later. This is his time!

  • The Th3rd

    That’s actually a good move to keep rappers away from Barack espcially knowing if they were invited Diddy will be acting coonish as hell with his stupid CIROC OBAMA foolywang, and he’ll be dancing shucking a jiving like a professional, PLEASE LORD LET OBAMA WIN THIS I”M PRAYING

  • WordtotheWise

    I don’t believe this at all. If that were the case, wouldn’t they have informed Jay Z, Diddy, Mary, etc. to fall back BEFORE Election Day? You noticed there’s no “source” attached to that statement. Not buying it!

  • Brook

    If this is true, black folks are in a whole of trouble…I hope this is not true.

  • Goddess_Isis

    why are you guys censoring my comments?

  • UDon’tKnowMe

    Aahh is it just me or is Bey rockin a nasty “,b> BUNT …. giiirrrrrllll. those jeans too tight!

  • Bella

    IT’S THAT ATTENTION SEEKER PUFY NEED BRACES ON HIS TEETH THAT THEY WANT TO FALL BACK, HE WILL TRY TO UP STAGE OBAMA FOR THE ATTENTION. AND WE KNOW NOTHING HAPPENS GOOD WHEN HE IS AROUND.*-

  • Tina

    The city of wind is the best damn place to be right now.

  • BeReal

    I am not sure if this is true but if they did say it,I can understand it would be hard for them not to attract attention as stars.

  • Ghost

    Sarah Gilbert from Roseanne???? She is there!

    Diddy must be going crazy after seeing she got invited instead of him.

  • Nik

    I would tell diddy and jay-z to back away too!

  • SMS

    I get their point.It really was his time. And yep seen Oprah for like 5 seconds on the screen.

  • SMS

    I agree with that camp tho.

  • Tracey

    IT WORKED, AND THAT WAS OBAMA ACKNOWLEDING P DIDDY IS AN IDIOT!

  • African Princess

    Serves them right. Bey and Jay only started showing their support recently towards the end when it looked possible. Most of these fools only started showing up towards the end. Sit your assess down somewhere and let Obama shine.

  • Mamacita

    Yes we can! Yes we can! Yes we can! And we did!

    btw…Kevin Liles is fine…

  • Mamacita

    Yes we can! And we did!

    btw…Kevin Liles is fine…

  • BGirl

    I agree with the camp! SORRY, but most of these celebs didn’t use their power until like yesterday. WAY after the registration deadline, here they come! Even the magazines that endorsed him, did it at the last minute. He should have had their power long ago, and the race wouldn’t have been even this close.

    Where were they last year when he announced his election? Where were they when they were crucifying Wright for saying the same thing we hear/say everyday? They want to jump in on the bandwagon at the 11th hour!

    Besides, they are a huge security risk. All those rollers in one room hoggin all the light.

  • BB

    I would tell them to stay home too. Not one of them has an ounce of class between them. & it’s not about displeasing white people, it’s about respecting ourselves as a people.

    They’ll be down for the cause today, and tomorrow they’ll be back to promoting “hood life.” What they should be doing is railing against the hood machine and encourage education, respecting black women and foremost respecting themselves.

  • jo

    WELL IT’S THE DAY AFTER THE ELECTION A NIQUE TA MERE AND HANNIBAL YALL WAS WRONG!!!!!!!!!!!!! BLACK MAN WINS OVER WHELMINGLY…..SEE NO RECENT POSTS FROM YOU TWO???? YUP HIDE IN SHAME HIDE IN SHAME…… I AGREE WITH THE READER THAT SAID THESE STARS DIDNT STEP UP AT THE BEGINNING STAGE, ONLY WHEN HILLARY WAS OUT THAT’S WHEN THE STARS CAME OUT, SO THE NIGHT SHOULD BE FOR OBAMA AND THE ‘MAINSTREAM’ PEOPLE LIKE HE SAID HE WAS RUNNING FOR……AND THAT’S US LITTLE FOLKS….

  • kenya

    YALL ARE STILL NOT GETTING THE MESSAGE,OBAMA,THATS CLEARLY AN AFRICAN NAME,THE ONLY REASON HE GOT NOMINATED WAS BECAUSE OF THE AFRICAN BLOOD IN HIM,I KNOW A WHITE MAN WOULDNT WANT A SLAVE TO RULE OVER HIM,HE HAS THAT AFRICAN CULTURE LINE IN HIM,LOOK AT HOW HE CARRIES HIMSELF,NO EAR RINGS ON BOTH EARS,NO SAGGING OF PANTS OF TATOO HIS WHOLE BODY JUST LIKE MOST OF YOU BLACK BASTERD DO!!!GET REAL.
