Multiple artists have dropped out of the Donald Trump-backed “Freedom 250” festival this summer. But Vanilla Ice is sticking to his guns and plans to keep his gig at the D.C. event.
According to Vanilla Ice, “music is not political” — and he said he would perform for Russian president Vladimir Putin if given the chance.
“I don’t even vote, so I don’t even care,” the rapper in an interview with TMZ posted Friday. Vanilla Ice said that if former President Joe Biden called up asked him to perform, “I’d go play. It’s not a big thing. You play for your fans. You know, we don’t get a chance to pick our fans. They pick us. And I’ll go play for Putin and I’ll play in Iran if you want. It don’t matter.”
