After Iggy Azalea dropped out as headliner for the upcoming Pittsburgh Pride, former Jonas Brothers singer, Nick Jonas has been chosen as the perfect replacement.

We earlier reported that the 25-year-old Australian rapper announced via Twitter on June 8 that she's canceling her performance after receiving serious backlash from the LGBT community for her past tweets, considered to be homophobic.

In a press release, Nick said, ''When I heard about the difficult position Pittsburgh Pride was in just days before their event, I knew I had to find a way to help.''

''I’m excited to do what I can to support the LGBT community in Pittsburgh, and I look forward to seeing you this Saturday as we celebrate together,'' he added.
