Vanessa Williams' National Anthem Performance Interrupted by Heckler's Greenland Comment at NBA Game in London
During Vanessa Williams' rendition of "The Star-Spangled Banner" at an NBA game in London, a heckler interrupted by shouting, "leave Greenland alone!" The incident occurred before the Memphis Grizzlies faced off against the Orlando Magic. President Donald Trump has expressed interest in the U.S. acquiring control of Greenland, a territory under Denmark's jurisdiction. The heckler's comment elicited mixed reactions from the audience, with some laughing and applauding. Despite the interruption, Vanessa Williams continued singing the national anthem without missing a beat.
