Bobby Shmurda’s Tour Canceled Due To Only Selling 10 Tickets Per City

Bobby Shmurda Cancels Tour After Only Selling 10 Tickets Per City

Bobby Shmurda used to be one of the hottest rappers in town, but his momentum was cut short after he was arrested and sentenced to prison. Following his release, the “Hot N*gga” crooner is yet to replicate the success he had before.

In fact, the rapper recently announced that his forthcoming tour is now canceled. What’s even worse is that reports have surfaced that he only sold 10 tickets per city.

Taking to Instagram, Bobby whose real name is Ackquille Jean Pollard, took the loss to the chin. “Hey to all my fans I apologize for the tour being canceled I take full responsibility,” he began before faulting booking agent Philip Stengel and Sergio Patillo, the founder of artist management company, Oakstreet Media.

“I have to go through lawsuits with these guys @philipstengel works at @halotouring @igetgwop that I knew better to do business with[.] Let this be a life lesson to all business owners and affiliate. Don’t leave nothing in no one hands[.] Don’t matter how much you gotta work.”

He continued, “Nobody’s gonna treat your work like it’s you except if you got a top pause, done expert[.] But that happens once in a blue moon[.] Because you have money does not make you a boss.”

The 30-year-old then attached the heated exchange between him, Stengel, and Patillo. The text shows the men arguing about the tour’s promotion and marketing. Patillo did his best to extinguish the flames, but Stengel was clearly not going to take the disrespect from Shmurda.

“Hey b*tch lmk if you need the book mailing address to sue me,” Stengel said. “And anytime we can run the f*cking fade ain’t no b*tch here you ain’t gonna talk to me like you have been.” Eventually, the men reconciled, so hopefully things don’t escalate any further.

But in the same breath, Stengel wanted to make it clear that the reason for the cancellation was to due to low demand and not an issue with advertising. On his Instagram he replied by bringing what he says are the facts, per Complex.

“Full transparency: the tour was canceled due to an average of 10 tickets sold per show—not a lack of promotion. We ran ads, we have receipts. This wasn’t about effort. It was about demand.”
