NBA YoungBoy’s Chicago concert at the United Center this week was abruptly canceled by the venue, days before the rapper was set to take the stage.
The United Center announced the cancelation Monday.
“The United Center has made the decision to cancel the NBA YoungBoy show scheduled for Wednesday, September 24 in Chicago,” a message on the venue’s website said. “If you purchased through Ticketmaster, refunds will be issued automatically. If you purchased from a third-party reseller, please reach out to your point of purchase.”
Ticketmaster also notified concert goers about the cancelation, saying “unfortunately, the event organizer has had to cancel your event.”
“You don’t need to do a thing,” Ticketmaster said. “We’ll issue a refund to the original method of payment used at time of purchase, as soon as funds are received from the Event Organizer.”
The rapper, whose real name is Kentrell DeSean Gaulden, was set to come to the United Center Wednesday as part of his “Make America Slime Again” tour in support of his latest album. According to NBA YoungBoy’s website, the tour is scheduled to play at more than two dozen arenas across the U.S. through November.
The cancelation comes after the United Center appeared to recently create a stricter bag policy for the show, saying absolutely no bags would be permitted inside.
“For the NBA YoungBoy show on September 24, bags of ALL SIZES, including clear bags, will not be permitted inside the venue,” a message on the venue’s “Frequently Asked Questions” page said. “We recommend traveling light and only bringing essentials like your keys and wallet or leaving larger items and bags in your car.”
Guests were encouraged to contact United Center’s Guest Relations department with questions. According to the website, showgoers can typically bring a small purse or personal bag up to 10x6x2 inside the venue.
In an Instagram story, an account identifying as NBA YoungBoy’s manager posted about the cancelation, calling out the venue and saying The United Center had turned its comments off on certain posts.
