NBA YoungBoy was in Atlanta a few nights ago for the MASA Tour, and as expected, he delivered an intense show. His concerts have been packed from city to city, with the kind of high energy only his fans can bring. But just like the rest of this tour, the stop in Atlanta didn’t go by without its share of drama. Not long ago, his Chicago date was also called off.
After receiving the key to the city of Atlanta on Wednesday night under questionable circumstances, YoungBoy quickly saw the mood shift. State Farm Arena confirmed that his show scheduled for Saturday was officially canceled.
The venue didn’t provide a specific explanation, but it’s not hard to see why they might have made this decision. During his Wednesday set, YoungBoy performed “I Hate YoungBoy,” a track that directly calls out major Atlanta names like Lil Baby, Gucci Mane, and 21 Savage. The song also takes aim at Chicago artists
For YoungBoy’s fans, the cancellation is a big letdown. Those who attended the first night probably feel lucky, but the Saturday crowd won’t get the same chance. Ticketmaster has confirmed refunds for anyone who bought their passes through their platform, softening the blow a little.
This setback adds to the list of issues the rapper has faced during this run. Still, he has plenty of remaining stops, with the MASA Tour continuing through the end of November. His fanbase is loyal and strong, and a canceled show won’t stop crowds from filling other venues.
This moment in YoungBoy’s career is still a powerful one, and the support he’s received has been huge. Hopefully, the rest of the tour will go smoothly from here. For now, everyone’s waiting to see if State Farm Arena will give an official explanation for the sudden cancellation.
