Summary
Say it ain’t so, poor Vanilla Ice. Just hours after the 90’s artist put up a video on social media, enthusiastically telling fans how excited he was to perform on the National Mall to celebrate America’s 250th anniversary, the group hosting the event announced it was being cancelled due to “inclement weather.” The issue, D.C. meteorologists were only predicting possible scattered showers, leading many people to believe the concert was actually cancelled because of low attendance concerns. Vanilla Ice was just one of two artists who agreed to perform after a handful of other 90s singers and groups all cancelled, not wanting to be associated with the Trump administration. For now, only Flo Rida is still scheduled to perform next week… let’s hold onto our apple bottom jeans and see what happens!
