Headliners including Martina McBride, Milli Vanilli, The Commodores, Young MC and Poison singer Bret Michaels all quickly distanced themselves from the concerts.<\/p>\n<p>An annoyed Trump then complained the artists who backed out had got the \u201cyips,\u201d suggested he could headline the event himself due to his ability to draw a bigger crowd than Elvis Presley at his peak, and then insisted his team \u201ccancel\u201d the entire fair.<\/p>\n<p>On Thursday, Trump even announced a rival event, a rally taking place on June 24. He said he would headline, with MAGA-friendly musical acts, \u201cGod Bless the U.S.A\u201d singer Lee Greenwood and opera singer Christopher Macchio opening for him.<\/p>\n<p>The wording of Trump\u2019s Truth Social post also seemed to suggest the State Fair has indeed been euthanized, while the event\u2019s website no longer lists any musical artists.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe don\u2019t want singers with no talent, but big fees to put you to sleep, we\u2019ve told them all to stay home,\u201d Trump wrote on Thursday. \u201cAll we want is you, me, a few speakers, and the Greatest Music ever played, the same Music you have listened to for years!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That blindsided Vanilla Ice, who took part in a softball interview with Laura Ingraham on Fox News on Thursday.<\/p>\n<p>Even Trump-loyalist Ingraham seemed confused about the status of the Freedom 250-organized Great American State Fair, where Vanilla Ice, rapper Flo Rida and Freedom Williams of C+C Music Factory are the only performers yet to bail.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt looks like the concert is now kind of morphing into a rally on the 24th of June,\u201d Ingraham told the rapper.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe rally is going to have some of the greatest music ever played,\u201d she continued, \u201cand I assume you\u2019ll still be a part of all that&#8230;\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The rapper admitted he had not been informed about anything to do with the status of the event, and was simply \u201cmarinating.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=744\">Keystone Kash Reignites Battle Over Nancy Guthrie Case<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cI hope so, I don\u2019t even know, I\u2019m here marinating. But I\u2019m honored to even be invited for this and I\u2019ll be there, no matter what. This is gonna be an epic birthday for our country.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The rapper has previously performed for Trump, including at a New Year\u2019s Eve party at Mar-a-Lago this year. Footage posted by Donald Trump Jr. showed his father dancing at his table during his 1990 hit \u201cIce Ice Baby.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>After Ingraham asked if he would dance with Trump, the rapper said, \u201cHeck yes, man, I\u2019ve danced with him before and I\u2019ll do it again.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Daily Beast has contacted the White House and Freedom 250 for comment on the status of the State Fair.<\/p>\n<p>During the interview, a peeved Ingraham called artists who canceled their State Fair performance \u201cspineless.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Fox News host claimed the artists are \u201cso obsessed with hating [Trump] or so afraid of industry execs who hate him, that they\u2019ll even refuse an opportunity to perform for their biggest audience in decades.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ingraham said she \u201cdidn\u2019t doubt\u201d that Vanilla Ice would still perform after others had canceled, but said it was a \u201csad commentary\u201d that musicians couldn\u2019t just \u201cput it all aside, I would say for the president as well, but everything should put everything aside for the country.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLeft, right, center&#8230; celebrate the goodness of our people.. don\u2019t make it political,\u201d Ingraham said. \u201cI think Obama should come, Clinton should come, Biden, if he can still find the Capitol, should come. And Trump should invite them.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Then rapper said, \u201cEverybody\u2019s invited, not divided, and this is what it should be&#8230; and who throws a better party than Trump? Let\u2019s be honest, I\u2019ve been to a few of them. This guy really knows how to throw a great party.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On Sunday, Trump initially flagged the idea of the rally, saying he wanted to \u201ccancel\u201d the failing State Fair.<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>He posted on Truth Social that he wanted a \u201cgiant MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN RALLY, for 250, instead of having overpriced singers, who nobody wants to hear, whose music is boring, and yet who do nothing but complain.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=742\">Pam Bondi Reveals Shock Reason Trump Goon Was Scrubbed From Epstein Files<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One-hit-wonder rapper Vanilla Ice has admitted he has no idea if the MAGA concert he has been booked for is still happening.
