Vanilla Ice Says He’d Perform for Anyone, Even Putin or Iran, Amid Freedom 250 Backlash
After several artists pulled out of the Washington, D.C. Freedom 250 concert series, Vanilla Ice told CBS News he would perform for ‘anybody’—including Vladimir Putin or Iran—arguing the event is about celebrating America’s 250th birthday and not politics, and noting he has never voted. Organizers call the event nonpartisan and scheduled for June 25–July 10 on the National Mall, while some performers say they were misled and chose to drop out.
