$The newly announced performance lineup for the "Great American State Fair" is already fracturing just hours after its reveal, with rapper Young MC becoming the second billed artist to publicly drop out of the Washington, D.C. concert series. His sudden exit closely follows a definitive statement from Morris Day on Wednesday afternoon, clarifying that he and his band, The Time, will have absolutely nothing to do with the newly revealed event on the National Mall. Both veteran acts stated they were completely blindsided by the underlying political ties of the 16-day patriotic series, which serves as a flagship outgrowth of an Independence Day initiative launched by the Trump administration. Meanwhile, a third artist from Wednesday morning's initial rollout, C+C Music Factory frontman Freedom Williams, posted a fired-up, profanity-laced eight-minute video address. Williams initially declared that he planned to back out of the show the moment he learned of Donald Trump's involvement, but later backtracked on his stance to suggest C+C Music Factory might actually move forward with the performance after all, asserting that he will not let angry comment sections dictate his career moves. Young MC’s message to fans on Wednesday night was short, direct, and left no room for interpretation, stating that he had officially informed his agents he will not be performing at the event. The "Bust a Move" rapper noted that the performers were never notified about any political involvement by organizers, pointing out that despite claims the historic festival is non-partisan, media outlets like Spin magazine quickly identified it as "Trump-backed". The rapper concluded his statement by expressing hope to return to the nation's capital in the near future for a show that is not so politically charged. #Freedom250 #YoungMC #MorrisDay #FreedomWilliams #CCMusicFactory$
