Macklemore Dropped as Vegas Festival Headliner After 'F*** America' Chant

The hits keep coming for Macklemore ... he’s just been axed as the headliner for Neon City Festival, hot on the heels of his "F*** America" drama.

The Neon City Festival in Vegas didn’t outright blame the controversy for Macklemore’s removal, instead chalking it up to "unforeseen circumstances" -- and totally wiping him clean from the 2024 headliners section on their website.

Whatever the reason, it’s gotta sting for Macklemore, especially since he was just announced as a headliner ... days before he sparked outrage by chanting his anti-America stance during a pro-Palestine show.

50 Cent Forget Baby Oil ... It's 'Diddy Oil' Now!!!

50 Cent is nearing the final lap of his damning Diddy doc -- and he's reworking the logo of the much-ballyhooed baby oil confiscated by the feds ... labeling it "Diddy Oil"!!!

Of course, 50's not mass-producing the baby oil himself -- he shared a meme on Wednesday to pad the latest announcement that filmmaker Alex Stapleton would be directing and co-executive-producing the documentary project.

SPEAK UP FOR JUSTICE

Update

5:15 PM PT -- The State of Missouri followed through with the execution by lethal injection, and Marcellus Williams was pronounced dead at 6:10 PM CT.

Busta Rhymes is going to bat for a Missouri man who's scheduled to be executed later today -- but hip hop's Dungeon Dragon insists the state's ignoring evidence as time runs out.

TMZ Hip Hop obtained video of Busta's PSA on behalf of Marcellus Williams, the inmate whose life is at the mercy of Gov. Mike Parson ... who could still issue a stay of execution. However, he recently rejected the inmate's clemency request for life in prison.

Busta passionately argues the DNA evidence prosecutors later discovered should be more than enough to vacate Williams' execution, and facts -- not politics -- should guide Gov. Parson to seek justice.
