Every artist that has dropped out of Trump’s concert celebrating America’s 250th anniversary

Morris Day & Real Milli Vanilli

Morris Day, best known as the frontman of The Time, has also reportedly withdrawn from the lineup.

The singer had been announced as part of the more throwback-backen entertainment schedule before later distancing himself from the event amid the growing controversy.

Adding some confusion to the situation, another act tied to the Milli Vanilli legacy, promoted as “Real Milli Vanilli”, also reportedly pulled out.

Who is still performing?

So, who will be at the 250 Freedom Concert to blast out their tunes? As of now, only a handful of acts remain attached to the event, including Vanilla Ice and Flo Rida.

Vanilla Ice, whose real name is Robert Van Winkle, told CBS News, “It’s simple as a pimple for me, there’s nothing to it. It’s the birthday of America.”

“Two hundred and fifty years. It’s not anything to do with politics. I don’t know why they’re turning it into politics,” he continued, adding he’s “never voted” in his life.

Eisenhower in 1999. 2026 marks the United States of America’s 250th anniversary, and will feature events all year by the Salute to America 250 Task Force. (Photo by Al Drago/Getty Images)

But with artist withdrawals continuing to stack up, questions are raised about whether the concert series will survive in its original form. Trump, however, appears determined to keep the spotlight on himself.
