A candidate for the City Council seat representing Canton has raised concerns about a concert Saturday at the Clarence H. Du Burns Arena featuring rappers Lil Wayne and Juelz Santana.
Donald J. Dewar III sent a letter Monday to Mayor Sheila Dixon and the city's liquor board, complaining about the performers' lyrics and Lil Wayne's criminal record. He asked that the event be canceled and its one-day liquor license be revoked.

His letter described lyrics by Santana and Lil Wayne about violence, prostitution and drugs.
