Pharrell Williams pulled the Something in the Water festival from Virginia Beach citing the city's 'toxic' culture.
"I love my city, but for far too long it has been run by -- and with toxic energy.
According to WAVY, Williams' letter came in response to a Sept. 26 note from Duhaney in which he said he felt"immense disappointment" upon learning that SITW would not be held in the city in 2022. After the inaugural 2019 fest -- featuring sets from A$AP Rocky, Beck, Chance the Rapper, Clipse, Foo Fighters, Gunna and many more -- had a reported $24 million economic impact, the 2020 and 2021 events were canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
