The response has been swift, with the hip-hop star dropped from a spate of music festival lineups including Lollapalooza, Governors Ball, Austin City Limits, Day N Vegas, iHeartRadio Music Festival, Music Midtown Festival and a concert organized by Working Families Party. And DaBaby’s ill-advised comments have been criticized by a string of artists including Elton John, Madonna and Dua Lipa, who worked with the hip-hop star on “Levitating.” 50 Cent doesn’t believe the damage done to DaBaby’s career will be long-term.

Isbell proved he wasn’t paying lip service when his show scheduled for Aug. 11 at Houston’s Cynthia Woods Mitchel Pavilion was canceled.

Chet Hanks Is an Anti-Vaxxer Despite His Parents Getting COVID-19 Last Year
Do you remember when COVID-19 went from being a scary infection to a worldwide pandemic? In the eyes of most Americans, it was right around when Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson both tested positive, meaning not even science-believing celebrities with all the money in the world could escape it. Thankfully US citizens can now get the vaccine for free to prevent serious illness from coronavirus. Yet that hasn’t stopped Chet Hanks, their infamous son, from making anti-vaxxer comments online despite his parents’ deadly health scare just last year. As Complex points out, the 31-year-old posted a video on Instagram pretending to use his influence — for some reason, Chet Hanks has more than half a million followers — to promote getting the COVID-19 vaccine. He then interrupted himself to say it was a jo...
