Sexyy Red is the latest artist to cancels shows due to low ticket sales. The raunchy rapper was forced to cancel multiple dates in Seattle, Washington and Portland, Oregon.
Last month, the “SkeeYee” rapper denied rumors that her “Sexyy Red 4 President Tour” was canceled due to low ticket sales. She claimed major promoters were trying to sabotage her tour because she’s using a Black promoter.
“My fans are buying tickets we’re doin just fine,” she wrote. “We not canceling no tour dis cancelling sh*t all cap.
Unfortunately, she spoke too soon.
Critics blamed Sexyy Red’s promoter for booking arenas instead of club dates for the C-list rapper.
According to reports, cities in the South are selling better than other venues in the North and Midwest where Sexyy Red is booked to perform.
R&B crooner Usher was forced to postpone the opening dates of his “Past Present Future” tour in Atlanta due to low ticket sales. Fans gagged at the ticket prices that ranged from $249 to $886.
Fans made the easy choice between buying groceries and gas or concert tickets.
Usher’s three Atlanta shows were rescheduled for December. Ticket prices are slashed in half for the December shows.
It isn’t clear if concertgoers who previously purchased full price tickets will get half of their money back for the December shows.
