Jean was arrested and led away in handcuffs following an attempt to perform, which was forbidden by the events permit. P. Diddy, Alicia Keys, Jay-Z, LL Cool J, Erykah Badu, Foxy Brown and the Wu-Tang Clan were also at the rally to show their support and protest a proposed $1.2 billion (0.7 billion) cut to New Yorks public education system.
