and now reads “Unfortunately, the Event Organizer has had to cancel your event.”Before it was taken down, Nola.com reported that ticket sales were scarce — with fewer than 500 purchased for an arena that can hold 14,000 concertgoers — for as low as $35 a pop.Those who did buy a ticket will be automatically refunded, according to Ticketmaster.

12. The Post has reached out to representatives for DaBaby for comment. DaBaby has an extensive background of problematic behavior, including making homophobic and misogynistic comments at the 2021 Rolling Loud Miami festival. “If you didn’t show up today with HIV, AIDS or any of them deadly sexually transmitted diseases that’ll make you die in two to three weeks, then put your cellphone lighter up … Fellas, if you ain’t sucking d–k in the parking lot, put your cellphone lighter up,” he said at the time.

He doubled down on his statement on Instagram Live, saying, “I wasn’t going on a rant. That’s called a call to action. That’s what that’s called, ’cause I’m a live performer,” he said. “I’m the best live performer.”That statement didn’t do well for him, either, and DaBaby later apologized on Twitter for his words, saying he wasn’t “trippin’” on the LGBTQIA+ community.Still, his original remarks got him removed from that year’s Lollapalooza and New York City’s Governors Ball Music Festival lineup.
