Don't check his Wikipedia page if you still want to enjoy that song.
After all these years I still don't understand if what he did was amoral-- the "human trafficking" listed on the page was to smuggle people into the US, but that's as much information as I can find. If he put those people into nefarious circumstances that's one thing, but if he basically acted as a conduit to get people into the US who otherwise wouldn't have had the opportunity it's a different matter entirely.
I'd love some clarification on the issue.
From what I can find, he took money from some people to get them into Canada and the US illegally then did nothing, then he took 2 groups into the US as his tour dancers so they could enter the US illegally.
He's no sex trafficker as far as I can see, but taking money from people trying to get out of their country then not doing it is a cunt act, even if they were gonna be going into the us illegally.
