Lil Wayne Shut Out of Canada

The rapper was scheduled to perform this evening, however, a statement from concert promoter Live Nation has said the show was shut down.

Tonight's Lil Wayne concert at GM Place has been canceled. "The Lil Wayne show has been cancelled due to circumstances beyond Live Nation's control," the promoter said in a news release. The rapper last performed in Vancouver in January. Lil Wayne, who dominated rap music at the 2009 Grammys winning four awards, was to share the bill with Young Jeezy, Soulja Boy and Drake.

Fans who planned to attend will reportedly receive refunds for their purchased tickets.

The tour has made headlines since launching last month with guest appearances by artists including Chris Brown who came out during a Virginia show.

Chris sang "Every Girl" and apparently enjoyed the set as he was seen smiling and dancing energetically alongside the tour's original performers. During the August 2 live gig, Chris did not only sing but also managed to moonwalk when Michael Jackson's song "Billie Jean" was played on-stage. To the concertgoers, Weezy shouted, "Ya'll make some noise for the new Michael." (Ace Showbiz) 50 Cent also made his way to the stage over the weekend during Soulja Boy's set in California.

"Okay, you're right," Fif told the screaming crowd as he prepared to perform. "What's up? I'm in that 760 leanin when I'm stuntin'/I blow 50 G's, I mean with ease like this is nothin'/Please don't interrupt me when I'm talkin to my jeweler/He's puttin them diamonds all over my Franck Muller/Me I get busy, I put that work in if it's worth it/Come through hit you up, I'll make a crime scene perfect"

The tour will reportedly miss both Canada dates and resume on Thursday (August 20) in Denver.
