Vanilla Ice, whose real name is Robert Van Winkle, expressed his excitement for the concert at the Great American State Fair, part of the celebration of the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. After several artists, such as Bret Michaels and Martina McBride, withdrew due to political controversies related to the event organized by Freedom 250, Vanilla Ice stated that he does not want to be involved in politics.

He emphasized that his goal is to bring people together through music, regardless of political orientation. In an interview, the artist stated that he does not care about politics and that he will perform for his fans, regardless of the circumstances. He also criticized the withdrawal of other artists, saying that music should be a source of entertainment and unity. The concert will take place between June 25 and July 10 on the National Mall, promising live entertainment and cultural exhibitions.
