LL Cool J Drops Off Philly July 4th Concert: “I’m Not Gonna Cross A Picket Line”
Friday, 4 July 2025 () Philadelphia’s largest blue-collar workers’ union, District Council 33, are currently on strike for better pay. That union includes sanitation workers, so residential trash collection has been on pause for the past few days. Still, the city is carrying on with their usual Fourth Of July festivities today, including the WAWA Welcome America Concert. But scheduled headliner LL Cool J has dropped off the lineup, refusing to cross a picket line.
