Busta Rhymes’ Blockbusta Tour Canceled One Week Before Its Start

This Blockbuster is also out of business. Busta Rhymes appears to have canceled all of the 21 dates that were set to be part of his North American Blockbusta Tour 2024.

According to Busta’s Ticketmaster page as well as Live Nation’s event listings for each show, the 2024 North American trek, which was set to begin next week on March 13 in San Francisco and was produced by Live Nation and The Conglomerate Entertainment, will no longer be taking place.

“Unfortunately, the Event Organizer has had to cancel your event. No action is required to obtain a refund,” the message on Live Nation reads in part.

The 51-year-old hasn’t commented on his social media accounts about the canceled dates, but fans have flooded his comments wondering what happened to the North American trek.

Billboard has reached out to Busta Rhymes’ reps as well as Live Nation for comment. Neither Live Nation nor Ticketmaster have a reason for the tour cancellation listed on their websites.

The New York-bred rapper was slated to rumble through Hollywood, Phoenix, Denver, Toronto, Dallas, Miami Beach, Charlotte, Philadelphia, Detroit and more before wrapping up back home in NYC on April 21.

The tour was originally announced in November, and Busta Rhymes was coming off of providing support as an opening act on 50 Cent’s Final Lap Tour across the globe throughout 2023.

Busta also unleashed his latest body of work, BLOCKBUSTA, in November. It was loaded with superstar guest appearances including verses from Chris Brown, Burna Boy, Kodak Black, Coi Leray, BIA, Young Thug, DaBaby, T-Pain and more.

BLOCKBUSTA debuted at No. 42 on the Billboard 200, while reaching No. 10 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart.
