Vanilla Ice still plans on performing at the Great American State Fair’s Freedom 250 concert this summer even though most other performers are dropping out of the event.
Freedom 250, which Donald Trump announced last year, is described as a “national, non-partisan organization leading the celebration of our Nation’s 250th birthday.”
The Trump administration-backed event to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, aka the country’s independence from Britain, announced the lineup on Wednesday (May 27), featuring several acts for the 16-day celebrations.
Many of the acts have since dropped out of the June 25 concert, saying they are now learning it’s not exactly what the event was billed to be.
Vanilla Ice, who says he never votes, is committing to be there still and says he would’ve performed if Biden asked too.
“Happy birthday America 250 years. It’s gonna be an epic party. This is to bring us all together. I’m tired of all the news channels dividing this country. We are all one. This is not a political platform. This is celebrating America’s birthday. Nothing too serious just enjoying some fun, dancing and great memories. Hope you guys can join us,” he captioned the above video.
In a comment, he added, “Yeah, if Joe Biden calls and says hey, I want you to play for my daughter‘s wedding. I’m going to play. There are fans everywhere. Music has no political rules. 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.”
