Glendale's Independence High School has pulled the plug on this weekend's Gospel Rap Extravaganza, which DMZ was set to perform at, says TMZ.

Apparently a $1 million insurance policy wasn't enough to allow DMX to lose his mind "Up In [T]here." The show had been scheduled for Saturday and was hosted by Morning Star Sanctified Church.

A call to the school -- which apparently has very little respect for the New England Patriots' intellectual property rights, as you can see from their total rip-off mascot -- has not been returned.
