Vanilla Ice says he still plans to perform at Freedom 250 even as other artists back away from the event. Asked why he is staying on, he said the answer is simple: “I’m proud to be an American. I was born here and raised here. This is my country.”
He said performing at the 250th birthday celebration is a once-in-a-lifetime honor and pushed back on the idea that patriotism should be treated like something controversial. While acknowledging the tension surrounding the event, he said music should bring people together, not be dragged into politics.
Vanilla Ice said he is not trying to make a political statement, but to celebrate the country where he was born and raised.
