  • MIA was dropped after making remarks during a Dallas show, including claiming she was "cancelled for being a brown Republican voter" and referencing her song "Illygal".
  • Cudi stated he had informed MIA's team he did not want "anything offensive" at his shows and removed her after receiving messages from upset fans.
