Childish Gambino Cancels Tour Over Health Issue Requiring Surgery

October 4, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Today, Childish Gambino took to Twitter/X to announce that the remainder of his North American, European, and UK tour dates have been canceled. The performer explained to his followers that he’s been dealing with an unspecified health issue, which he sought a professional opinion on in Houston earlier this week. Unfortunately, he learned that the issue was serious enough that he had to cancel that night’s show. Upon further analysis, he realized he wouldn’t be able to complete the rest of the tour.

“After my show in New Orleans, I went to the hospital in Houston to make sure of an ailment that had become apparent,” he wrote. “After being assesed, it became clear i would not perform that night, and after more tests, i could not perform the rest of the US tour in the time asked. As of now I have surgery scheduled and need time out to heal.“

“My path to recovery is something I need to confront seriously,” Childish Gambino continued. “With that said, we have made the difficult decision to cancel the remainder of the North American tour and the UK and European dates. Tickets will be refunded at point of purchase. I want nothing more than to bring this show to the fans and perform. Until then, thanks for love, privacy, and support.” Fans are wishing the hitmaker a speedy recovery, and commending him for putting his health first.

Childish Gambino’s announcement arrived just a few weeks after he postponed the remainder of the tour. That week, he told the Wall Street Journal that fans would get the “best live show” they’d ever seen. He even promised their money back if it didn’t live up to their expectations. Hopefully, he’ll be able to heal and get back on the road as soon as he’d like to. What do you think of Childish Gambino announcing that he has to get surgery for an unspecified ailment?

Pras Admits He’s Frustrated For Fugees Fans After Last-Minute Tour Cancelation

August 22, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Earlier this month, Lauryn Hill canceled the North American leg of her Miseducation Of Lauryn Hill anniversary tour with the Fugees, just days before it was scheduled to begin. Of course, supporters were disappointed, prompting Hill to deliver an explanation on Instagram. She told followers that “some media outlet’s penchant for sensationalism and clickbait headlines have seemingly created a narrative that has affected ticket sales.”

This sparked even more backlash, as fans questioned why she wasn’t taking accountability for her reputation of frequent tardiness and cancelations. Fellow Fugees artist Pras agreed with those calling Hill out, telling TMZ at the time that he too has grown frustrated by her offstage antics. Now, he’s weighed in on the debacle yet again, this time in a recent chat with Vulture. To start, he addressed his new song “Bar Mitzva,” which many believed was a diss track.

Pras Denies Dissing Lauryn Hill

He denies this, insisting that he was simply expressing himself. “You’re family, you have internal disagreements, but it’s not going to be on a level where I’m dissing her — that doesn’t make any sense,” he told the outlet. “Artistically speaking, sometimes we say things because that’s how we express ourselves. […] This track is me speaking my truth. When I was writing the record, those lines just came out.”

He added that “everyone’s frustration has been building up” about the tour cancelation, as “this is not something that just happened overnight.” Pras also feels for supporters who were looking forward to seeing them live, only to have the opportunity taken away unexpectedly. “They are paying their hard-earned money to see you,” he explained. “We’re going on almost three decades of our existence, individually and as a group. To have people still interested in wanting to come see you, man, you have to be grateful.” What do you think of Pras’ take on Lauryn Hill’s last-minute Fugees tour cancelation? Do you agree with him or not? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

SiR’s Toronto Show Cancelation Leads To Speculation That Drake Is To Blame

July 30, 2024 by newhiphopnews

SiR is the latest TDE artist to have their show in Toronto canceled with short notice after ScHoolboy Q suffered a similar fate, earlier this month. A reason for SiR’s cancelation wasn’t given, but he says the decision was from the venue. Expectedly, the situation has caused fans to theorize that Drake was behind the move following his viral feud with Kendrick Lamar.

“This sh*t didn’t age well at all….” SiR joked, resurfacing his original post. In another, he confirmed: “So sorry to my Toronto fans. The show has been cancelled. We’re working on rescheduling for a later date..” When fans began theorizing the cancelation could have been due to low ticket sales, SiR clarified that it was a sold-out date. “For those wondering, we sold that show out. It was cancelled by the venue. Not sure why. My apologies again to those that came just to see me,” he wrote.

ScHoolboy Q responded to the announcement, writing: “HAHAHAHAHAHHAAHHAHAA TAKE YO ASS HOME BOY.. SING ON THE BUS ITS OVA WIT.” Fans shared their takes on the situation in the replies. “If a n***a got enough influence to get you barred from a country and you can’t do the same to him, I’m afraid that he may actually be more important outside of social media lol,” one user wrote. One more wrote: “Toronto still banning TDE is the lamest thing I read on here [crying emoji] this is super petty.”

Kanye West Reveals Why He Can’t Be Anti-Semitic And Why He Can’t Be Canceled

February 13, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Kanye West is someone who has always been controversial. Overall, he has maintained a certain level of controversy ever since he burst onto the scene. However, things took a turn for the absolute worst back in 2022. This is when Ye started making anti-semitic ramblings. Furthermore, he began hanging out with white nationalists like Nick Fuentes. It was all very concerning but Ye kept up the charade. Now, he has an album out and there are people who have essentially forgotten about his existence.

That said, there are still millions of people ready to support Ye, no matter what. Recently, the Vultures rapper was approached by TMZ while at the airport. It was here where he was asked whether or not he apologizes for the things he said in the past. Overall, Ye wasn’t too focused on dishing out an apology. Instead, he claimed that the only ones he feels bad for are Jewish kids. He also claimed that he could not be anti-semitic because black people are the real Semitic people.

Kanye West Speaks Out

As for cancelation, well, Ye feels as though cancelation is simply something that cannot happen to him. He believes that this is because he is simply too interesting of an artist for people to stop listening to. It is a pretty interesting theory. Although if you look at what is happening with Anthony Fantano right now, it is clear that Ye just has a cultish fanbase. They believe in everything he does, and if you disagree, you are somehow the bad guy. Either way, Ye continues to succeed, despite everything.

Let us know what you think of his recent comments, down below. Also, did you listen to Vultures? If so, what did you think of it? Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the music world. We will continue to keep you informed on all of your favorite artists and any of their upcoming releases.

News of Drake’s canceled concert comes as he prepares for the release of his next studio album, For All The Dogs. At an It’s All a Blur Tour show in New York City, Drake teased that the project will be dropping in just a few short weeks. “Make new friends. If you drink, drink some liquor. If you smoke, smoke some weed. And if you like somebody, like my dad says, keep fucking,” Drake said on stage. “I will be back soon. I have an album dropping for you in, like, two weeks or some shit. But until then, just know, you’re always with me and I’m always thinking of you. Everything I do is for you. Every time I step in that booth, I hope I make you proud.”

Drake announced the new album in conjunction with the release of his recent book of poetry, Titles Ruin Everything. Drake will continue performing on the It’s All A Blur tour throughout the United States and Canada through October. His next show is Tuesday night at the Wells Fargo Center in Philidelphia. It’s his second night in the city. On Monday, he brought out Meek Mill for a hometown appearance.
