Just a few days after the rapper Macklemore was announced as a headliner of the inaugural Neon City Festival in downtown Las Vegas, he has been dropped from the lineup.

News that the rapper was removed from the Neon City lineup comes after his performance at the Palestine Will Love Forever Festival in Seattle over the weekend. A video of Macklemore yelling “Yeah, f— America!” during his performance has since been viewed over a million times on social media.

Macklemore has not kept his stance on the ongoing war in Gaza a secret. In May, he made headlines when he released “Hind’s Hall,” a rap single praising college students for their protests of the war and denouncing the U.S.'s role in the conflict.

    Been feeling awfully Iraq War-y around here since last October.

    Also I don’t think Macklemore needs this first time festival where he was the most famous and accomplished act as much as they needed him.
