Green recently pleaded no contest to a felony count of providing a woman with ecstasy. Not long after, he blasted, “Women who have really been raped REMEMBER!!!” to his nearly 2 million followers.
Green deleted the message and later apologized for it, calling the tweet, “Idiotic, untrue and not what I believe.” Regardless, it seems that as far as several music festivals are concerned, the damage has already been done.
