Demi Lovato Kicks Out Rapper Duo on X-Factor for Drug References

Mega pop star Demi Lovato was upset at a rapping duo on the recent X Factor auditions.  The duo rapped about getting high off of bath salts.  The keen judge caught those words and did not approve of their performance at all.

A source told E! News, "She wasn't having any of it.  She said 'It's really irresponsible to be rapping about drugs in front of kids.' Then they tried to make excuses and Demi said, 'You talked about bath salts, I heard you.'"  

The singer kicked the rappers off the stage with the audience booing the duo.

Bath salts are an extremely addictive drug that has the same affects as cocaine and crystal meth.  

Lovato herself has recovered from drug and alcohol addiction in the past and is sensitive about this topic.  After rehab, the 19-year-old gained a newfound purpose to be a positive voice for young people.

She shared with E! News, "Now I cherish a whole new meaning to my career, which is to be an inspiration. I think I've been given a voice for a reason...Everything happened for a reason and it's no coincidence that I've been put through a lot at such a young age."

Go Demi!
