NEW YORK (AP) A day after the President Donald Trump -affiliated Freedom 250 announced the first wave of performers for The Great American State Fair shows on Washingtons National Mall in June and July, Young MC and Morris Day are among the scheduled acts who have said they will not be appearing.
Day and Young MC issued statements on social media disputing Freedom 250s announcement on Wednesday. Scheduled performers also include Milli Vanilli, the pop duo from the 1980s who were discredited after it was revealed that their frontmen, Rob Pilatus and Fab Morvan, were only lipsyncing. One of the actual singers, Jodie Rocco, told The Associated Press that neither she, her sister Linda Rocco, nor any of the studio vocalists who performed under the groups name after the scandal had been asked to come.
