Huge US rapper postpones gig just hours before he’s due on stage – leaving fans fuming
A HUGE rapper has postponed his gig just hours before he’s due on stage.
The Game, whose real name is Jayceon Terrell Taylor, is an American rapper known for his hits such as California Vacation and How We Do.
Born in Compton, California, the 45-year-old has been touring Europe, with his most recent show taking place in Paris.
But ahead of his show in Ireland, The Game has canceled the concert last minute, postponing until a later date, and in turn leaving his fans upset.
Speaking in the video, The Game said: “This video is for my fans in Dublin, I was supposed to be with there with ya’ll today, killing the show tonight, but all these different climate changes and the toll that the tour’s been taking on my body, it’s been draining.
“I’ve been fighting the flu. I lost my voice a few days ago when I was in Manchester. I fought through the Manchester show with no voice. Did the same thing in London – killed both of those shows.”
He added: “Last night, if anybody was in Paris and they seen the show, we put on a hell of a show, we went out there again with no voice, but we got it done.”
In the caption, he penned: “PSA for my fans in Dublin, Ireland…. As well as Oslo, Norway.
“The new date for Oslo is March 30th 2025.. 6 days from today.
“The new date for Dublin is April 9th 2025… 2 weeks & change.”
He added: “I have given 100% of myself to my fans & this tour and any single person that has been to these shows will attest to the energy in these buildings night after night.
“In life we must prioritize our health even when our heart of hearts tell us to push through.”
The Game then said: “I did my last 3 shows in London, Manchester & Paris with absolutely no voice & still killed every single one !!!!!
“My next show is in Stockholm Sweden this Thursday & by then I should be at 100% mind, body, voice & soul.
“I promise to not leave Europe until every single show on this tour is done !!!!”
He signed off by thanking his fans for being understanding, and added how he appreciates the love and support he has been shown over his 20 year career.
“If you don’t understand then you can’t be a true fan so tell me all about in the comments,” he added.
“For my day 1’s….. I love you & I’ll see you soon. – The Game,” he said at the end of his message.
Fans were instantly fuming, with many quick to point out how he had canceled shows in Ireland in the past.
“4th time u have bailed on Ireland,” said one.
“What about the last 4 shows you cancelled in Dublin? Out clubbing in Paris and the cancel the show on less than 24hrs notice. In Dublin we can deal with a hangover you could probably learn something,” said another.
Meanwhile, other fans slammed The Game’s Paris show.
“You ain’t kill nothing in Paris Game! Worst ever rap concert of my life,” slammed one.
“I was in Paris last night. The concert was lowkey bad,” echoed a second.
While a third fumed: “Your Paris date was totally messed. We all expected a great show, it was horrible.”
But many other fans of the rapper were quick to share sweet messages wishing him a speedy recovery.
“Get well soon Chuck,” said one.
“Wishing @losangelesconfidential a speedy recovery let’s go Game fam,” added a second.
“Sending some rapid healing your way Chuck,” penned a third.
While a fourth said: “Sending strength and healing big brother.”
