One week from today (March 6) was supposed to mark the start of Busta Rhymes’ Blockbusta Tour. It appears that is no longer happening, though, but we didn’t hear it from Busta himself.

As USA Today reported at around 4 p.m. ET yesterday (March 5), all of the Blockbusta Tour dates are now listed as “cancelled” on the Ticketmaster website. No reason is listed: Ticket pages for individual shows say simply, “Unfortunately, the Event Organizer has had to cancel your event,” along with information about refunds for those who have already purchased tickets.

Rhymes has yet to address the cancellation, despite posting a promo video for his Blockbusta album on Instagram hours after the USA Today report.

Check out the affected dates (all of them) below.

This year, several rap legends received their flowers in connection to hip-hop’s 50th anniversary. One of the pioneers honored included Busta Rhymes. During the 2023 BET Awards, he was given a Lifetime Achievement Award. But the “Ok” rapper’s legacy is still unfolding. Last week, the emcee released his latest studio album, Blockbusta.

The 19-track album features guest appearances by Young Thug, Quavo, BIA, Burna Boy, and more. If you didn’t have the chance to catch him live as part of 50 Cent’s The Final Lap Tour this year, don’t worry. In 2024, Busta Rhymes will hit the road on his own headlining 24-date tour. Rhymes’ Blockbusta Tour will kick off on March 13, 2024, in San Francisco, California. Today, only Spliff Star and DJ Scratchator are listed as supporting acts. But fans believe official tour support will be announced at the top of the year.
