Potentially racist and homophobic remarks made by the rapper Iggy Azalea saw her forced to cancel her performance at a Pittsburgh gay pride event.
Now, after watching him ditch her arena tour, Nick Jonas has stepped in to replace her.
Good news for the singer’s fans below…
Azalea’s fans had claimed the aforementioned remarks had been conjured up by a critic hoping to weaken her ties with the gay community.
Alas, this week saw her admit to taking aim at lesbians, African-American men, gay-men and Mexicans in tweets written before she rose to fame with the hit single ‘Fancy.’
Now, Jonas has decided replace her at the event.
Billboard reports:
A statement from the Delta Foundation of Pittsburgh says Jonas contacted event organizers himself after hearing of Azalea’s cancellation. “Nick had heard about Pittsburgh Pride in the media and called us on Tuesday and said he would like to come and perform,” said Gary Van Horn, president of Delta Foundation. “He has been a supporter of the LGBT community, and he wanted to make sure that the community and Pittsburgh had a Pride event that they could be proud of.
Nick’s bold move comes after he cut ties with Azalea’s ‘The Great Escape Tour’ before poor ticket sales forced the ‘Black Widow’ rapper to pull the plug on the live show.
He exploits you gays as well.
Everyone exploits everyone you should step outside that bubbly fantasy of yours. At least the gays will have some good eye candy and a fairly good voice perform for them now.

For Markisha power bottom 666
I think it’s a great thing that he stepped up and stepped in, However I wish we had an OUT gay superstar that we could support. I don’t think he exploits the gay community, I just think he knows his core fan base as a solo act. He’s far from ugly and he’s very humble. ????????????????????????????????
Nick can GET IT, so it’s cool lol
lol he don’t care hell let them gays drool he just want them coins
Any pop artist that wants longevity has the support of the gays. You better believe he cares and wants their support.
Yeesss Nickie boy, get that gay money sis.
Ariana and Nick would make a great celebrity couple.
Don’t know why would anybody with big career aspirations would play for such a disgusting event. Immoral people.
Pandering to that audience, he must be desperate.
