Following an onslaught of criticism, Rolling Stone reports that Ludacris has dropped out of Kid Rock’s “Rock The Country” festival. Many fans dubbed the country music festival a “MAGA Festival” due to some of the political beliefs shared by some of the performers. Kid Rock has been an ardent supporter of President Donald Trump over the past few years.
He even performed a Trump’s “Victory Rally” which took place one day before his Inauguration last January. That said, a representative for Ludacris maintained that it was a “mistake” and the rapper was never supposed to perform. Apparently, “lines got crossed, and he wasn’t supposed to be on there.” A rep for the festival also confirmed that Ludacris was no longer part of the festival.
Along with Ludacris, Nelly was also listed on the flyer for the upcoming event. However, unlike the Fast and Furious actor, Nelly is expected to still perform.
