SiR recently claimed that he was caught in the middle of Kendrick Lamar and Drake’s beef, which caused a scheduled concert in Toronto last year to be cancelled.
While on stage at a live show in Canada, SIR spoke to his fans about the cancellation and how he was caught in the crosshairs of one of the most epic rap battles of all time.
“So the venue in Toronto, which was partially owned by Drake, cancelled the show completely,” SiR revealed to the crowd. “Then when we tried to switch venues, the next venue was like, ‘Nah we ain’t f**cking with it, I ain’t taking no motherf**cking chance.”
At the time of cancellation of the show, SiR took to Instagram to apologize to fans for the unfortunate situation.
“So sorry to my Toronto fans. The show has been cancelled. We’re working on rescheduling for a later date,” he wrote on social media. “For those wondering, we sold that show out. It was cancelled by the venue. Not sure why. My apologies again to those that came just to see me.”
But SiR wasn’t the only Top Dawg Entertainment artist to have trouble keeping shows in Canada. Last year, ScHoolboy Q had one of his shows in Toronto at the height of K-Dot and the 6 God’s war of words.
“They just cancelled my show in TORONTO,” followed by a laughing emoji. “CANADIAN POLICE DON’T WANT NOBODY FROM TDE PERFORMING.”
