Kid Cudi cancels Birmingham show and drops M.I.A. from tour
Kid Cudi has cancelled his upcoming Birmingham show due to poor ticket sales. The rapper also cut ties with M.I.A., removing her from the Rebel Ragers Tour after her controversial onstage remarks. The Birmingham concert was called off after organisers confirmed low ticket numbers. Kid Cudi had hoped to deliver a memorable performance for local fans but ultimately decided to scrap the event. He later expressed regret, asking supporters to understand his choice.
During recent tour stops, M.I.A. sparked backlash with a series of rants. In Dallas, she claimed she was being 'canceled for being a brown Republican voter.' She also made comments about 'illegal' immigrants possibly being in the crowd. Fans reacted negatively, prompting criticism online.
In response, Kid Cudi announced M.I.A. would no longer join the Rebel Ragers Tour. The decision came shortly after her remarks, with the rapper distancing himself from the controversy. The cancellation leaves Birmingham fans without a show, while M.I.A. is now off the tour lineup. Kid Cudi’s move follows growing frustration over her statements, which overshadowed the tour’s progress.
