The McDonald's Live Tour was meant to hit different cities with different artists on the bill. One of those artists was Twista. However, McDonald's recently decided Twista would no longer be a part of these events.

According to The Sun Times, Twista was taken off of the tour due to his lyrical content.

"McDonald's USA made the decision following concerns raised about the artist's controversial lyrics," the company said in a statement.

The statement went on to say that they are for freedom of speech, but they do not condone what Twista has to say.

"Although we respect free speech and artistic expression, we do not condone or perpetuate derogatory language," the statement noted.

McDonald's is now looking to replace Twista with another performer for Chicago.
