New York’s SummerStage Cancels Kehlani Concert Amid ‘Concerns’ From Mayor Adams’ Office

Kehlani’s performance at Central Park’s SummerStage was canceled due to safety concerns raised by NYC Mayor Eric Adams’ office. The decision followed similar cancellations at Cornell University after she planned a concert amid Israel-Hamas conflict support. Kehlani denied any antisemitic claims, emphasizing her commitment to artistic expression while addressing the tension surrounding her recent music video featuring Palestinian flags and dancers in keffiyehs.
