Almost all of the acts scheduled to perform at Donald Trump's Freedom 250 concert series dropped off the lineup shortly after it was announced last month. Milli Vanilli, Young MC, and C+C Music Factory were among the I Love The ‘90s Tour acts the White House booked (via Jeff Epstein) to celebrate America’s semiquincentennial, but Vanilla Ice was the last of the ‘90s artists standing. However, last night his concert was canceled two hours before showtime due to "inclement weather.”

"We're about to have a great party tonight," the rapper said in a video on social media yesterday. "This is gonna be epic." Shortly after, Freedom 250 wrote on X, "The safety of our guests, staff, and partners remains our top priority. We are actively monitoring conditions and will provide updates as they become available."

Ice's drummer Trent Laugerman posted on his Instagram Story last night, "I hate to announce it but there was thunderstorms rolling through and there might be one more and unfortunately they had to cancel the show. So. Not even really angry just kind of bummed because we were looking forward to it."

How do you fuck up the 250th this badly?
It’s such an easy win. An average Summer day on the Mall is a hundred times more full. You have to work to make it this empty.
