Bar nicely renovated hosting European male hip hop act (6,5)

I believe the answer is:

public enemy

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'hip hop act' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'bar nicely renovated hosting european male' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'bar' could be 'pub' (I've seen this before) and 'pub' is located in the answer.
'european' could be 'e' (abbreviation e.g. EU) and 'e' is found in the answer.
'male' could be 'm' (common abbreviation) and 'm' is found in the answer.
an anagram of 'nicely' is 'licney' which is within the left over letters.
This accounts for all the letters.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for public enemy that I've seen is " threat to society".)
