Artists Set To Boycott Florida

In the latest fallout of the Trayvon Martin case in Florida, a number of high- profile artists have declared they will be boycotting the state as a result of the recent verdict.

Two weeks ago George Zimmerman was found not guilty of second degree murder and manslaughter following the death of 17 year old high school student Trayvon Martin in February of 2012.

The verdict has seen widespread protests in Florida and now, in the latest twist, dozens of artists have said they will boycott the state in aid of the fight against Florida's Stand Your Ground Law.

Stevie Wonder was the first of the artists to declare the news and sources close to him have said they hold in their possession a list of top artists who have agreed to support the initiative. The most high profiled among the list are said to include Kanye West, Rihanna and Alicia Keys.

While the list has spread it's way through the internet, rumors sparked that Jay-Z was also set to join the boycott. His planned stop at Florida on the "Legends of Summer" tour with Justin Timberlake however, is said to go ahead as planned for the 16th August.
