Morvan and a woman who sang on the original Milli Vanilli recordings, Jodie Rocco, both claim to be the true representatives of the tainted act's legacy. That's complicated media coverage of the fracas over the festival in D.C., and who's in or out.

Is Milli Vanilli performing at the controversial, Trump-backed “Freedom 250” festival in Washington, D.C. or not? If not, is it true they were never even approached, let alone booked? If they are, why is the press reporting differently? And, most importantly of all, who is “they,” anyway, when it comes to Milli Vanilli in 2026?
All valid questions, even if some news media haven’t thought through all of them. To the extent that all Milli Vanilli mysteries can be plumbed, the answer appears to be that there are two competing artists (or sets of artists) who claim to represent the “real” Milli Vanilli, and there is some enmity between them.
