Summary
Nietzsche's said Sunday it will not book the DJ again after a "We Are Charlie Kirk" meme was shown during a performance last weekend and drew backlash online.
In a Facebook statement, the Buffalo venue said it learned of the incident through social media, was told by the artist and promoter it was meant as a joke, and said the content had no place at the club.
The bar apologized to patrons, said the meme did not reflect its values, and pledged to keep the venue a welcoming space.
The "We Are Charlie Kirk" phrase also refers to an AI-style song released days after his death that has since been used on TikTok and elsewhere to mock him.
