    Can someone explain why Ludacris would want to do this show?

      He did not, his people said he was put on the list without his knowledge.

      https://ew.com/ludacris-drops-out-of-rock-the-country-festival-lineup-after-fan-backlash-11887716

      Ludacris’ rep claimed it was “a mix-up” that he was ever part of the lineup in the first place.

            Is there any comprehensive list like this for all boycotts? All art, brands, etc.

            Was reading the 3 Doors Down singer who just died was also a Trumper.

              Since I don’t know the stance of their survivors I’ll abstain from adding the dead to the list.

                What do you mean by this? I think it’s worth reminding the living that their reputation could irreversibly be tarnished for eternity if they don’t wake up while living.

              Yeah, Vanilla Ice is the only surprise in that list.

                He performed at the New Years Eve party for Trump, Stephen Miller, Kristi Noem, etc. It went viral when people shared cringe videos of them dancing to “Ice Ice Baby”.

            Mac was never maga, he came out with the Donald Trump single when he was just the “business” guy on TV; his Obama birther bs coincidentally started nearly concurrently with release of the song. Mac was outspoken calling Trump a douche

              Donald Trump has been a horrible piece of shit for over thirty years and his daddy funded the KKK, but regardless Mac took it back.

                Mac probably wasn’t aware of all this at the time he made it when he was a teenager. Most people back then just saw Trump as the tv show businessman ‘your fired’ rich guy. Lots of rappers before Mac made songs that also named dropped Trump as well.

                Sure, but I don’t expect a 19 year old to realize all that. He was never maga and never supported the guy.

            I thought Snoop Dogg just played for him because of the pardon. But he was never actually maga.

              I think on a moral level that Trump is not fundamentally different from Hitler, and I also think Diddy had the same reasons for supporting Trump, so I’m going to go ahead and keep him on the list.
