Lauren Daigle is speaking out after being banned from participating in a New Year s Eve broadcast out of New Orleans due to her appearance last month at a French Quarter evangelistic event.
“I’m disappointed that my spontaneous participation has become part of the political discourse and I’m saddened by the divisive agendas of these times,” the Christian singer, whose success has allowed her to cross over into the pop mainstream circuit, said in a statement to a Louisiana news outlet on Thursday.
The militant politicians continue to impose their unelected will on the populace.
Christian crossover performer Lauren Daigle has reportedly seen her prospective appearance on the annual “Dick Clark’s Rockin’ Eve” broadcast canceled. In a unique twist however, Daigle has not lost the gig over offensive comments or affiliation with controversial organizations. She has been removed over the fact that she gave a prior performance.
LaToya Cantrell is the Mayor of New Orleans, the site of the upcoming event hosted by Ryan Seacrest. Cantrell sent a letter to Dick Clark Productions requesting that Daigle be removed from that night’s lineup of performers, as a result of her performing at an impromptu concert on November 7. It was on that date that another Christian musical artist, Sean Feucht, had staged a protest concert in the French Quarter in opposition to the local government’s lockdown orders. Cantrell has apparently taken great offense to this event and has launched
Two of the hottest local memes of 2020 have officially joined forces.
New Orleans DJ Roc dropped this dime of a parody back in September when New Orleans Mayor Latoya Cantrell strongly reiterated that the city would remain in Phase 2, regardless of Louisiana moving to Phase 3 at the time.
This week, a south Louisiana car salesman named Durell Smylie went viral after he created a new mantra for the culture.
DJ Roc decided to do his own version of Where The Money Reside using the Phase 2 schtick that he created to parody Mayor Cantrell and it s straight up hilarious.
While 2020 has brought us a lot of unprecedented hardships, the internet was definitely there to make us smile and laugh when we needed it most. Here s to a better 2021, when it comes to memes and life and general.

The mayorâs proclamation specifically extends New Orleansâ âdeepest apologiesâ to seven Black New Orleanians who were killed during the unrest and the hundreds more who were harmed. Two of them were Hannah Mabry, 60, who was killed by a mob that fired dozens of gunshots into her house on Rousseau Street, and her son, Harry Mabry, âthe only person convicted of a felony for the four days of violence,â Cantrell said.
After his motherâs death, Harry Mabry identified two men, George Flanagan and Mike Foley, as her killers. But he was pressured into recanting, convicted of perjury for his initial statement and sent to the Louisiana State Penitentiary at Angola for eight months.Â
