UPDATE via HUFFINGTON POST
American Urban Radio Networks White House correspondent April Ryan first reported the list… HuffPost reached Ryan by phone on Tuesday afternoon, and she said the list came from “very credible sources” who had provided her with accurate information in the past. Ryan said she had not seen the Instagram or other social media posts in advance of publishing the list or her update.
April Ryan’s full statement:
I obtained from multiple sources early Monday a list of artists and entertainers who my sources told me had committed to a boycott of Florida following the George Zimmerman acquittal. Since publishing that list I have heard from several representatives of the artists named who say, on behalf of their clients, they are uncomfortable being identified on that list and are seeking additional information.
