VH1 Philly 4th of July Live Stream: 'Wawa Welcome America' Brings Nicki Minaj, The Roots, Ed Sheeran, Jennifer Hudson, Aloe Blacc, And Vicci Martinez For Fireworks

Nicki Minaj is celebrating 4th of July with The Roots for the Philadelphia's "Wawa Welcome America" celebration. The rapper will perform alongside with Ed Sheeran, Aloe Blacc, Jennifer Hudson. Singer Ariana Grande was apart of the line up to perform, but since has backed out.

Ariane reportedly backed out from her performance due to a family emergency. The singer posted photos of her and her ill grandfather in a hospital bed, but hasn't released a statement just yet.

The Roots drummer, QuestLove, tweeted his well wishes to the 21-year-old and her family writing, "Sending prayers & strength to ‪@ArianaGrande's family. Due to unfortunate uncontrollable circumstances she has to cancel her ‪#PhillyJam slot."

In other news, the Harajuku Barbie was spotted by fans in Philly today and posted the video of the sweet encounter with one fan, who just wanted to hear the celebrity say "I Love you too."

Fortunately, for those who couldn't make the concert and grand fireworks display, VH1 will have a live stream of the major event starting at 8 p.m. EST.
