Las Vegas radio stations have removed Green Day songs from their playlists, blaming Billie Joe Armstrong‘s outburst.
During a Green Day show at Oracle Park in San Francisco, Armstrong expressed his dislike for Las Vegas, saying, “I hate Las Vegas. It’s the worst shithole in America,” as reported by People.

Residents of Las Vegas were not happy with Armstrong’s harsh words about their city. Radio station KOMP 92.3 announced on social media that they would stop playing Green Day music. “We didn’t do it, Billie… You did it,” their statement said.
Another station, X 107.5, made a similar announcement. Host Carlota shared on air that Armstrong’s comments led to an immediate ban of all Green Day music, saying, “After Billie Joe Armstrong called Las Vegas ‘the worst s***hole in America,’ X107.5 is taking action. 🚫 We’re banning all Green Day music from our station! Carlota announced it this morning—no more Green Day on X107.5! 🙅♂️”
