Macklemore Dropped from Neon City Festival

Rapper Macklemore has been dropped from the upcoming Neon City Festival in Las Vegas following his controversial 'F*** America' remark at a pro-Palestine event in Seattle. The organizers cited 'unforeseen circumstances' for his removal, though the decision came shortly after his incendiary comments, which have sparked significant backlash. Macklemore issued a statement expressing regret for his words, attributing them to being caught in the moment and his grief over U.S. policies in Gaza. His comments have led to broader career repercussions, including potential loss of endorsements and strained affiliations with local Seattle sports teams. The Neon City Festival will proceed with other headliners, including Seven Lions, Alison Wonderland, Russell Dickerson, and Neon Trees.
