The McDonald's Live Tour will touch down in 10 American cities this summer (07), with stars including Ne-Yo, Kenna, Kat DeLuna, the Dey, Single File and Kevin Michael performing on stages in the fast food giant's parking lots.
The Chicago emcee - real name Carl Mitchell - was dropped from the line-up for a 7 August (07) gig earlier this week (30Jul07), after McDonald's cited his "derogatory" lyrical content as the key factor in their decision.
But Twista is "unsettled" by the restaurant chain's actions.
He tells AllHipHop.com, "I am very disappointed by McDonald's decision to cancel my participation in the McDonald's Live Tour.
"Being that McDonald's and I have worked together in the past, it was unsettling that I would be removed from the tour after undergoing the planning process and receiving assurances from McDonald's on multiple occasions that I would appear on the tour."
The McDonald's Live Tour concludes in Austin, Texas in September (25Sep07).
