Rick Ross Cancels Final Port of Miami Shows; 50 Cent Trolls Him on Instagram

The cancellations triggered a fresh round of public taunts that leave venues, fans and industry observers seeking an explanation for the abrupt end to the anniversary run.

Overview

  • The Steven Tanger Center in Greensboro and the Belk Theater in Charlotte canceled Ross’s Aug. 28 and Aug. 29 Port of Miami 20th Anniversary shows and issued automatic refunds to ticket holders.
  • Both venues gave terse explanations with the Tanger Center saying the Greensboro date would not be rescheduled and Blumenthal Arts citing “unforeseen circumstances.”
  • Hours after the cancellations, 50 Cent posted mocking messages on Instagram about the shows and Ross’s businesses, using the failed dates to question Ross’s commercial standing.
  • Rick Ross responded on social media with a provocative post referencing Daphne Joy but has not offered an official public reason for the canceled North Carolina concerts.
  • The cancellations close an otherwise well-reviewed orchestral anniversary tour and intensify a near two-decade feud between the artists that often uses commercial claims and personal attacks as weapons.
