Wale announced that he is pulling out of the Broccoli City Festival 2022 lineup just hours after organizers unveiled the list of performers.

The Folarin II rapper took to Twitter to announce his exit from the festival, stating “respect” as the reason behind his decision. Wale did not fully share the details, but he did clarify that his decision to pull out was not because he was not a headliner. “I’m not mad at all,” he said in response to a fan. “I wish people would ask Face with tears of joy I’m sure the festival will be amazing all the artist are fire. I don’t think I’ll be missed and I never cared about headlining. This ain’t that. If u gon judge me at least know what’s on my mind my guy.”

He also replied to a fan reminding him of the money involved in performing at the festival, but to Wale, “the peace of mind is bigger than the check.” Wale added to a different Twitter user, “My awareness of my talent is why I stand on respect bein more valuable than money.”

Elsewhere in music, Kanye West announced he currently has no plans to do an NFT.
