Kehlani’s Central Park Pride Concert Canceled Over ‘Safety Issues’ Raised by NYC Mayor

  • New York City's SummerStage canceled Kehlani's Pride With Kehlani concert scheduled for June 26 in Central Park due to safety concerns.

  • Kehlani denied antisemitism, stating, "I'm not antisemitic or anti-Jew" and emphasized opposition to genocide and bombing of innocents, while organizers stressed commitment to artistic freedom but prioritized safety.
  • The cancellations highlight tensions between artistic expression, political messaging, and public safety concerns at large-scale events amid ongoing geopolitical conflicts.
