“Unfortunately, the event organizer has had to cancel your event,” Ticketmaster wrote on their website shortly after the decision was made.

It has been reported that the show was canceled because of a lack of ticket sales, but concert promoter Greg Pulver said in a statement that there were “a number of business reasons” behind the decision, according to NOLA.com.

The CEO of the booking agency that represents DaBaby later revealed that it was his representatives that made the final decision.
