The Internet is buzzing about the major shakeup of the much-hyped Jay Z/Kanye West ‘The Throne’ Tour. Amid rumors of infighting between the 2 prima donna stars comes word that some 20 dates have been slashed from the original tour schedule — this, according to Ace Showbiz.com.

One sign that the original 24-city tour might have been a bit too ambitious came this morning when it was announced that 20 dates were removed from the tour schedule. Yesterday, the NY Post claimed the 2 delicate personalities weren’t getting along too tight.

We reached out to our Def Jam contact who assured us that the rumors were false. But we remember what happened when Jay Z toured with drama queen R.Kelly, so it isn’t too far fetched to believe the rumors.

‘The Throne’ tour, which was scheduled to start in Detroit on September 22, will now kick off right here in Atlanta on October 29. We’re elated because we have been promised tickets to that show!

Jay-Z and Kanye attended the star-studded listening party in New York City last night. Also in attendance were Jay Z’s wife Beyonce, her sister Solange Knowles, actress Jada Pinkett-Smith, and rappers Q-Tip and Busta Rhymes.
