Freedom 250 released a list of nostalgic acts slated to headline the 16-day music festival on Washington, D.C.’s National Mall earlier this week. Almost immediately after the announcement, news broke of musicians backing out due to a reported political backlash. Performers such as Young MC, The Commodores, C+C Music Factory, Milli Vanilli, Bret Michaels, and Martina McBride all released statements (some more colorful than others) revealing that they were unaware of the festival’s direct connection to President Donald Trump and would not attend.
Unlike the other acts, Robert Matthew Van Winkle (a.k.a. Vanilla Ice) doubled down on the appearance, saying (in an Instagram video), “I’m super honored to do this concert with everybody. We’re going to bring back the ‘90s, put your dancing shoes on, you’ll be happy, trust me, it’s all about enjoying the great times of 250 years from George Washington to now, all the presidents and everybody in between.”

If you’re wondering if the performer is a MAGA republican or not, he explains, “We are just entertainers. I don’t vote, and I never have, and I always try to bring people together. We are all one. Positivity is the best hope for everything. Love is the answer.”
