Milli Vanilli say they will not perform at Freedom 250 DC shows
Milli Vanilli and Morris Day said they were not booked and will not perform at the Trump-linked Freedom 250 "Great American State Fair" concerts planned for Washington's National Mall. Both artists disputed a Wednesday announcement that listed them on the DC lineup, and a Freedom 250 spokesperson did not immediately respond to requests for comment. With original duo member Rob Pilatus deceased and Fab Morvan now the surviving frontman using the Milli Vanilli name, their withdrawal removes a named legacy act from a high-profile National Mall roster ahead of America's 250th anniversary events.
Members of Milli Vanilli said no one in the group had been asked to perform: "I was shocked to see our name." www.thedailybeast.com/obsessed/sho...
When you've lost Milli Vanilli . . .
The existence of Milli Vanilli implies that a Vanilli on the Imperial System is out there somewhere
Looks like they’re all jumping ship. This group has just been added though.
I was surprised to see their name too!
Weird, I was shocked they were still around. It's funny that even scammers won't perform for Trump. But please, go on about “Trump’s hold over the Republican Party” 🙄 Truly the stupidest fucking timeline in the history of timelines
None of this makes sense - “no one knew they were performing?”
Calling Laura Trump to the stage! Time for a pee break? Get another beer until she is done "singing".
Young MC had a similar reaction. MAGA is desperate to latch onto whatever names they can for their failing bandwagon.
I'm shocked someone remembered them and thought it was a great idea for the only artist to have their Grammy taken away from them to headline a major event.
So they just threw darts at pictures of 70s-90s acts and hoped they wouldn’t notice?
Good grief, the tRump regime proves its incompetency multiple times a day.
Could they have actually released a fake list of lame names they knew would be mocked so they could use the backlash as an excuse to justify it being Kid Rock?
Martina McBride pulled out too. 🤣 Soon it will just be a kid rock concert. 🤣
Good. Everyone needs to say "No" and pull out!
But which one is the alive guy? Milli or Vanilli? Cuz I’ll bet the dead one is outraged at this
It's all so dumb that it fits for Trump's birthday...
Blame it on the rain.
There were only 2 and one committed suicide. Plus they never sang anything. What would he do?
Why? Did they not get enough time to get their “backup” singers in place ?
Make that now three acts not coming to Trump's shit show. Excellent.
Hey, I really want to see The Village People sign on! Donny keeps playing their songs at his pathetic rallies, doesn't have a clue.
Still one of my favorite trophy memes. 😂
Shoot. I was really hoping that Milli Vanilli would be the last ones standing.
Another one bites the dust! 😂
Honestly, I don’t think Stiv Bators or Johnny Rotten approve.
Couldn’t they just have someone dress like Milli Vanilli and lip sink just like the real Milli Vanilli?
Shocked? You and everyone else.
Pull out??? They never put it in! 🤣
So the country is three down now ?? Hmmmm??
The Commodores agreed to this propaganda parade of lies, hatred, bigotry? Damn, man!
So, no consent yet dumpy McRapey did what he does...
I think that’s the pattern. Or their agents just saw “Washington DC” and failed to check. It’s falling apart, and these aren’t even top performers.
Is this a Fake artist list paid in millions by taxpayers ?! 🧐🤔👀
How about substituting Ted Nugent?
The lineup is a lot like the Trump's pending "deal" with Iran - no one has seen it and no one knows what's in it.
Maybe Dear Leader will have someone dress up as Milli Vanilli to lip-sync Milli Vanilli lip-syncing their favorite hits? 🤡
They were going to have a fake milli vanilli???? This is hilarious.
The “entertainment” is shaping up to be the same quality as the musical lineup at his inauguration. Quite the 250th celebration. ETTD
Colonel: sir this is from Milli Vanilli headquarters, the code checks out
Girl you know it's (not) true.
another cancellation has just struck the south tower
Am I the only one who noticed that they have the same list of names in there twice but in different orders?
In Milli Vanilli's case, the original Milli Vanilli won't be performing. The fake Milli Vanilli will. And doesn't that just say every fuqqin' thing about himself's $hit show? You truly can't write the script any better and neither can AI.
Official Statement from the Millll Vanilll headquarters
Bah buh buh buh Baby Please forget my number
1/2 Commodores are out...and so is Martina McBride... They better add Ka$h's country singer girlfriend Alexis Wilkins, & Kid Rock pronto. 💀"Freedom" 250💀 entertainment is biting the dust fast. Who's left? - Vanilla Ice - Bret Michaels - C&C Music Factory - Flo Rida See update on Milli Vanilli...
Robert Clivillés, the remaining "C" of C+C Music Factory (David Cole passed in 1995), doesn't have the right to the name anymore but wants no association with the rapper Freedom Williams touring under the name.
2/2 @adambonin.bsky.social has been on the case. It's unclear which "Milli Vanilli" was hired for 💀"Freedom" 250 💀. Official poster didn't specify: - original lip syncer 1/2 of MV, Fab Morvan; no word from him - a band called The Real Milli Vanilli said it wasn't invited. 🧵 bsky.app/profile/adam...
At some point I can picture Trump canceling it, saying it was because of terrorism threats from the dumocrats and this only proves he needs his ballroom bunker ASAP.
Vanilla Ice & Bret Michaels will be there. They need the $$$
Kid Rock is already there. Alexis needs a gig. But also Chachi has one song. I think Kevin Sorbo too. And the revamped Village People can cycle in and out with YMCA. Headliner : Lara Trump.
C & C released a statement. They're not performing.
I was honestly surprised (and disappointed) when they announced Flo Rida. Glad they were wrong
i highly doubt it's Fab Morvan since he moved to Amsterdam in 2024 and hasn't been back to the us since
Great American State Fair closed for repairs.
Don’t discount Lara! She‘s probably excitingly practicing her vocal warm-ups🎶
Are they really trying to say they were tricked? How fucking gullible are they? A Trump event that is not partisan? Lol.
All that's left is kid Rock with Kevin sorbo on the triangle backed by James Woods and his famous eight ball fueled bongos.
C&C said its not the real them, just one of them.
If Vanilla Ice wants another 15 minutes of fame, he could do it by showing up at this event, then trolling the f* out of everyone with a "Vanilla ISIS" parody show.
Who is crashing the birthday party, #revolution style?
Wonder if KC and the Sunshine Band are busy
I don't know how much more of this I can take...🤣 C+C Music Factory: "In a wild 7-min rant from his toilet, the group's lead rapper, Freedom Williams, insisted he doesn't "f*** with Trump" and almost told his agent he was out ... until people started calling for his cancellation." 🧾 t2m.co/qrSCO4TP
It’s pretty sad when even Milli or Vanilli (can’t remember which one died) won’t even lip-sync at your party.
I can’t believe I am defending Milli Vanilli. Pilatus of the duo is dead, and both really could sing. Their producer didn’t like their sound but wanted to sell them in the US as hot pop guys, hence someone else’s voices. Glad whomever is performing isn’t doing it for 🍊💩
The people who've said they weren't performing at the concert, nor were they ever contacted about doing so, are the real singers of those songs who've been touring under the Milli Vanilli name for years. It's unclear if Fab Morvan, whose picture was used, has agreed to perform.
OHMYGOD HAHAHAHAHAA and so true
