Due to illness, A$AP Rocky was forced to pull out of the 2024 iHeartRadio Music Festival at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada over the weekend.
Stating that he can no longer appear at the event due to poor health, the iconic rapper took to his Instagram Stories account on Thursday (9.19) with:
“UNFORTUNATELY, I ENDED UP GETTING SICK & I WON’T BE ABLE TO PERFORM AT THE @iheartfestival. IM SORRY TO MY FANS & THANKFUL TO @iheartradio FOR THE OPPORTUNITY! (sic)” he wrote.
Born Rakim Mayers, the musician didn’t share details of his illness though he did tease fans by mentioning that he had planned to perform several new songs at the gig, writing “I WAS LOOKING FORWARD TO PERFORMING SOME NEW MUSIC FOR YALL! ENJOY THE SHOW THE LINE UP IS (fire emojis).”
The now 35-year old artist was set to perform with the likes of Big Sean, Camila Cabello, Doja Cat, Dua Lipa, Gwen Stefani, Halsey, Hozier, Keith Urban, New Kids on the Block, Paramore, Shaboozey, The Black Crowes, and The Weeknd at the 2024 iHeartRadio Music Festival.
Rocky is preparing to release Don’t Be Dumb, his fourth studio album that was originally meant to drop in August, but due to a variety of production issues, will now be released later in the year.
“LEAKS & SAMPLE CLEARANCES ARE DISRUPTING THE ALBUM. ITS BEEN 6 YEARS & I WANNA MAKE THE BEST ALBUM EVER. IM SORRY FOR THE WAIT (sic),” A$the AP explained on X last month.
