MIAMI -- A performance by standup comedian Eddie Griffin was stopped after he used the N-word repeatedly, a magazine's spokesman said Wednesday.
Griffin was performing at Black Enterprise magazine's Golf and Tennis Challenge in Doral on Friday when he was cut off after using profanities and the N-word, said Andrew Wadium, a spokesman for the publication
"We believe that ending the performance was the appropriate action," Wadium said.
About 1,000 people registered for the performance at the 14th annual event.
Griffin's publicist Jeff Abraham didn't immediately return an e-mail and a call seeking comment.
Use of the N-word has been a topic of discussion in the black community. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People held a mock funeral for the word at its July convention in Detroit.
