There wasn’t good news for Rick Ross fans this past weekend, as all 23 days of the imminent tour were cancelled. Last week Ross had given an indication that all was not right with the tour, when he cancelled two upcoming shows in North Carolina. Who was to think though that every date would be given the chop? So now the question is: why?
At first rumor was that Ross and his Maybach Music Group were receiving threats from the Gangster Disciples, a rival group that Ross had spoken about previously in his lyrics. Statements from Rick Ross and his reps though, indicate that the cancellation was due to far more pedestrian matters than that. Chalk this one up to poor communication and complete disorganization. Reps of Ross had said at the time that these were mainly on the part of the tour promoter, which was Live Nation, one of the biggest promoters in the industry.
Ross issued a statement himself saying, “I want to apologize to all of my fans who I missed performing for due to the cancellations and want to let them know that I will get back to their cities. I’m ready to get back in the studio to make good music.”
Until then unfortunately, it looks as though fans are just going to have to wait.
