Following a tumultuous two weeks that saw his DJ charged with murder, Louisville rapper Jack Harlow will not perform at the Preakness Live music event Saturday, according to organizers.
Harlow had been set to headline Preakness Live, which is expecting several thousand fans for a socially-distant entertainment event, at the Pimlico Race Course in Maryland along with rapper 2 Chainz and D-Nice, a DJ.
But a public relations representative for 1/ST Entertainment, which puts on the Preakness Live event and is an offshoot of Preakness owner Stronach Group, told The Courier Journal on Friday that Harlow is no longer in the lineup.

BALTIMORE (AP) â Medina Spirit has passed three rounds of prerace drug testing and been cleared to run in the Preakness on Saturday.
Maryland racing officials said Friday tests on the Kentucky Derby winner and fellow Bob Baffert-trained Concert Tour came back with nothing that would cause either to be scratched from the second leg of the Triple Crown. Baffertâs camp agreed to rigorous testing and monitoring of his horses as a condition of entry to the Preakness, after Medina Spirit tested positive for the steroid betamethasone in post-Derby testing.
