US Secretary of State Marco Rubio surprised many earlier this month when he swapped diplomacy for the DJ booth at a family wedding, and many expected a live performance from him on the occasion of the 250th anniversary of the United States.
However, when asked about it at an event in Delhi, the top US diplomat said no to another performance as a DJ anytime soon, citing contractual obligations.
“There is more entertainment to follow, there is more fun to follow. I unfortunately, will not be able to perform tonight because my contract with Sony does not allow me to perform in unsanctioned events," he said at the event celebrating 250 years of America.

However, Rubio indicated that it was not the end of his stint at the console. “If you come to our 251st birthday, you never know. But for our 250, I just can’t do it contractually…It’s an honour to be with all of you. Thank you to India for welcoming us. May God always bless America," he added.
