Reactions were rolling in Friday night after the Freedom 250 Great America State Fair cut the performance for rapper Vanilla Ice.
The 90s star was slated to play his hit songs at the event, which was reportedly having low attendance and mixed reviews.
The Freedom 250 announced the fair's pause in a post on X, adding that the event would reopen at 10 a.m. Saturday.
"Due to inclement weather in the area, the Freedom 250 Great American State Fair and FIFA World Cup 2026™ Fan Zone will be closed for the rest of the day — Friday, June 26, 2026. The safety of our guests, staff, and partners remains our top priority. We are actively monitoring conditions and will provide updates as they become available."
People on social media were quick to comment.
"Vanilla [on] Ice," NBC News senior justice reporter Ryan J. Reilly wrote on X.

"God says 'f--- no' to Vanilla Ice," author and photographer Joe Flood wrote on X.
