Furor Over Rapper’s VIP Package

A furor erupted over a VIP package offered by Australian rapper 360 on his upcoming Australian tour.

at a CD signing in 2012.

Six are offered at each of nine shows Sept. 3-20. The A$1,000 ($930) package offers soundcheck access, a seat on the stage during the show, a pair of $200 ($180) limited edition 360 Sol Republic headphones, a copy of his June 13-due Utopia album and a photograph call with the rapper.

“I’m not ripping off the fans,” 360 insisted. “I run a business. My Falling and Flying album has sold more than any other Australian rap act. I’m not on the same level as many Australian acts.”
