You could say... Vanilla Ice melted under pressure

Amid spiking COVID-19 numbers in Texas and growing personal blowback about a planned Friday concert, Vanilla Ice has slammed it into reverse and canceled the annual show at a venue on the Lake Travis reservoir just outside of Austin., real name Rob Van Winkle, announced Thursday that he would skip the Independence Day Throwback Beach Party, saying in an upbeat video on social media that he had listened to his fans and just wanted everyone to be safe.

Due to the increase in COVID-19 numbers in Austin we’re gonna move the concert to a better date. We were hoping for better Coronavirus numbers by July but Unfortunately the numbers have increased quite a bit so for the safety and health of everyone we’re going to stay home.

i thought he only had 1 song

Ok so he said he didn’t know that the numbers were spiking which means he is either walking around with his head up his ass or watching Fox News which is kinda the same thing.

Boooooooo to dumb headline joke

He was desperate for attention... but got called out.

Co-vid-19 dun dun dun na na na

You’re telling me enough ppl actually listen to vanilla ice? still? that there would be a concert during a pandemic to cancel?

Who would risk their health - and pay $$ - to see Vanilla Ice

Or was it because nobody bought tickets?

Just going to leave this here: jimcarrey does vanilla ice in white white baby

🎼 Stop, Collaborate&Listen Vanilla Ice is back with a brand new invention, MASK! 😷 Wear them tightly all day,then wash them Nightly! Yo ! If there’s a problem you know I’ll solve it, MaskUp people for the Covid19 & We’ll dissolve it! Word to your mother on the Ventilator

Stop ninja stop ninja stop

In all honesty, how many people were going to be in attendance?

There are people who pay to go see Vanilla Ice?

Just like the trump rally, nobody was going to go regardless of covid-19

SaraJBenincasa Now let's do TheLeeGreenwood who is scheduled to play for 10,000 people in a small town in Washington state. His appearance will attract more people, putting everyone at risk. Oh, and they were denied the permit but the event is still happening because freedom or something.

SaraJBenincasa Such an easy play on words. Alright, stop!

Davidlaz I guess my 'RIP Van Winkle' tweet stays in the Drafts folder for now.

I'm just shocked that he sold enough tickets for this to be newsworthy.

He's got enough songs for a concert?🤔🤔🤔

But no one says “melts under pressure”

What ...

Who pays to see him? Does he sing the same song over and over?

Those 450 people dodged a bullet, not from contracting covid19, but from having to suffer through a Vanilla Ice concert in 2020!

🤣🤣🤣😂🤣😂👍

Another white man prevented from earning a pay check while mobs of blacks destroy our nations history and collect money from Soros.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣OMG THAT'S AWESOME.🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Pressure? Or maybe you mean “heat”? Not to split hairs or anything.

Should’ve just called it a BLM rally.

ajgma People still pay money to see *checks notes* Vanilla Ice?

ice ice baby

That’s cold

Lame

ugh that headline

Who?

Because the 12 people who would actually care decided it wasn’t worth the risk?

Can’t say Under Pressure, you’ll get sued too 🤣

Melt, Melt baby

I thought playing for an empty theater would be following the rules

I've amazingly met Vanilla Ice THREE separate times in my life. In college opening a concert for his band, 2nd at airport sandwich shop in Seattle, where he paid for a woman's lunch. 3rd a coffee shop in LA. Everyone is shitting on him now, but he was a pretty nice/cool dude.

he stopped, collaborated & listened?!

It would have been deadly if he played a dope melody

AllLivesMatter BeSafe Beconcious He understood everything. Better be safe than sorry. Be conscious! Not everything in this World is party and fun, in middle of a pandemic we have to be more aware of the situation that we are going through!! Concert can wait, and people too.

'news' lol. Los Angeles Communist Opinion Rag

Can we all just “stay home?”

Should have collaborated and listened

And you could say that no one really cared cause no one had bought a ticket anyway...

No nija, no nija, no!

There are levels to this.... Kudos

It you can’t stand the heat, get back in the freezer.

Get his ass

1990 is it?

This man was being DESTROYED on Twitter. 😂

LOL

This entire escapade was worth it for the headline. :)
