Can someone explain why Ludacris would want to do this show?

[–] coalie@piefed.zip 81 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) (1 children)

He did not, his people said he was put on the list without his knowledge.

Ludacris' rep claimed it was "a mix-up" that he was ever part of the lineup in the first place.

Big sigh of relief, thought we had another snoop lap dogg.

What? Nah, His edit is 11 minutes after I said it.

[–] acme401@lemmy.world 11 points 5 days ago

Meaning "I'm not thinking about her"

[–] FiniteBanjo@feddit.online 3 points 5 days ago

Good catch, I'll add it to the list

[–] lennybird@lemmy.world 14 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) (1 children)

Is there any comprehensive list like this for all boycotts? All art, brands, etc.

Was reading the 3 Doors Down singer who just died was also a Trumper.

[–] FiniteBanjo@feddit.online 6 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Since I don't know the stance of their survivors I'll abstain from adding the dead to the list.

[–] lennybird@lemmy.world 4 points 5 days ago (1 children)

What do you mean by this? I think it's worth reminding the living that their reputation could irreversibly be tarnished for eternity if they don't wake up while living.

[–] FiniteBanjo@feddit.online 2 points 4 days ago

Fair enough, added.

[–] watson387@sopuli.xyz 11 points 5 days ago (2 children)

Oh, sweet Jesus... Not Vanilla Ice!

[–] FiniteBanjo@feddit.online 7 points 5 days ago

The film "That's My Boy" is now ruined. And the Ridiculous 6 is on thin ice.

[–] RhondaSandTits@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Yeah, Vanilla Ice is the only surprise in that list.
Wonder what the story is there.

[–] FiniteBanjo@feddit.online 3 points 4 days ago

He performed at the New Years Eve party for Trump, Stephen Miller, Kristi Noem, etc. It went viral when people shared cringe videos of them dancing to "Ice Ice Baby".

[–] NOT_RICK@lemmy.world 9 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Mac was never maga, he came out with the Donald Trump single when he was just the “business” guy on TV; his Obama birther bs coincidentally started nearly concurrently with release of the song. Mac was outspoken calling Trump a douche

[–] FiniteBanjo@feddit.online 15 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) (2 children)

Donald Trump has been a horrible piece of shit for over thirty years and his daddy funded the KKK, but regardless Mac took it back.

[–] PalmTreeIsBestTree@lemmy.world 11 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

Mac probably wasn’t aware of all this at the time he made it when he was a teenager. Most people back then just saw Trump as the tv show businessman ‘your fired’ rich guy. Lots of rappers before Mac made songs that also named dropped Trump as well.

[–] NOT_RICK@lemmy.world 3 points 5 days ago

Sure, but I don’t expect a 19 year old to realize all that. He was never maga and never supported the guy.

[–] Omegamanthethird@lemmy.world 1 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I thought Snoop Dogg just played for him because of the pardon. But he was never actually maga.

[–] FiniteBanjo@feddit.online 14 points 5 days ago

I think on a moral level that Trump is not fundamentally different from Hitler, and I also think Diddy had the same reasons for supporting Trump, so I'm going to go ahead and keep him on the list.
