Drake Cancels “It’s All A Blur Tour” Stop In Memphis

December 04, 2012

Drizzy’s “second hometown” will not get to see the much-anticipated show.

For the last several weeks, Drake has routinely gone viral on social media thanks to newsworthy clips from his ongoing “It’s All A Blur Tour” with 21 Savage. However, fans in one location will have to miss out on that concert experience.

According to reports, Drake officially canceled a tour stop in Memphis re-scheduled for August 6. The trek was originally supposed to hit Tennessee’s second-most populous city on June 29 before being postponed.

“Due to the magnitude of the production of the Drake concert, it is logistically impossible to bring the show as designed to the FedExForum on August 6th. Unfortunately, the show is [canceled],” read a statement from Drake’s representatives.

Drake has a familial connection to Memphis. The Canadian rapper’s father, Dennis Graham, is from the county seat of Shelby County. Drizzy even filmed the 2013 music video for “Worst Behavior” in his dad’s hometown.

In June, Drake received a key to Shelby County. At the time Shelby Chairman Mickell Lowery told the 36-year-old entertainer, “We love our own. Memphis music touches the world. You got a lot of Memphis blood in you and you’re definitely touching the world.”

Some social media users took offense to the Memphis-area locale presenting Drake with the special honor. However, Memphis-raised rap star GloRilla addressed a fan who complained about the Toronto native getting the symbolic gift.

Drake and 21 Savage are planning to take the “It’s All A Blur Tour” to Inglewood, California for multiple dates beginning on August 12. The Her Loss album collaborators will also head to San Francisco, Los Angeles, Seattle, and Vancouver this month.
