Live Nation is staying quiet after two performers associated with Kendrick Lamar say their dates at its Drake-affiliated History venue in Toronto were cancelled at the last minute.
Both artists are signed to Top Dawg Entertainment, the Los Angeles record label that fostered Lamar's career, which has led fans to speculate the yanked shows were collateral damage in the ongoing musical feud between Drake and the hitmaker behindLive Nation didn't respond to questions about the reason for the cancellations nor whether fans who were blindsided by the change would be compensated for associated costs for hotels or transportation.
Shortly after his concert was cancelled on Tuesday, R&B singer Sir apologized to his Toronto fans in a social media post. He wrote he was unsure why the venue cancelled the event, adding in another post that he still got paid. 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.Suggestions that History might be showing loyalty to its hometown star began percolating after the cancellation of L.A.-based rapper Schoolboy Q's concert in mid-July.
