The organizers of the annual Summerstage concert series in New York City canceled the week after R&B singer Kehlani's Pride performance will be cancelled in late June, and it seems that Chicago rapper Noname's performance celebrates June Teenth has also been cancelled. Local publication Hell Gate first reported that Noname's performance was cancelled, and found that the Ticketmaster website, which promoted the show, announced the cancellation of the organizer. The reason is not yet clear.
The City Parks Foundation, a nonprofit in Summerstage, announced that it had decided to cancel Kehlani's performance as Mayor Eric Adam's office warned them of "safety concerns" about Cornell University's earlier decision on Cornell University also had about Bar Kehlani's "safety concerns". University President Michael I. Kehlani responded to the allegations that he said, “I am not an anti-Semitist, nor an anti-Semit”, “I am an anti-agricultural agent”, “I am an anti-guest, I am against the actions of the Israeli government, I am against a person, I am a person, I am a person, I am a person, I am a morale that was once my... I am my morale... I am within my territory, I am within my territory, I am my words, I am my territory, I am my words, I am my territory, I am my opposition. I am against the opposition."
Israel’s description of revenge in Gaza following the Hamas attack on October 7, 2023 is a genocide that has caused great controversy. Humanitarian groups, including Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch, and many others have used the term. Former President Joseph R. Biden and the American Jewish Countys, as well as other groups supporting Israel, are strongly opposed to the framework.
In addition to citing Cornell University’s “controversy,” the mayor’s office also cites “safety precautions required for such activities in Central Park, as well as safety requirements for the entire city to conduct other pride activities over the same period.” Mayor Adams himself said “anti-Semitism” was a question when asked about cancellations at a May 6 press conference.
However, during Noname's performance, the mayor's office told Hell Gate that it did not cancel and forwarded the publication to Live Nation, and they did not respond to their request for comment.
Representatives from Live Nation, Ticketmaster, City Parks Foundation, Noname and Kehlani did not respond immediately Rolling stonesRequest for comment.
Nonamam spoke out about her socialist politics in a blunt manner, telling Rolling stones"I might be a better organizer. I might be more anti-capitalist, more anti-imperialist, and I could be more active in my community. It might be an impostor syndrome, which could be a lot of things, but I just feel like I am about the state of the world, we should all do more." She runs the non-Amam Book Club and the radical Hood library in Los Angeles, which promotes both community service and anti-officiality and is also a justice-oriented literature by the author of Color.
