On May 2, Kid Cudi removed opener M.I.A. from his Rebel Ragers tour after she was booed for delivering a Republican-leaning onstage rant. Kid Cudi announced he fired M.I.A., saying, "I won't have someone on tour making offensive remarks," and pointed to the crowd's boos as the immediate reason. M.I.A. is known for outspoken political commentary, and the split shows how partisan statements can derail high-profile tour lineups.
