NBA YoungBoy’s devoted fanbase turned disappointment into celebration after his second Atlanta concert on October 18 was canceled. Crowds gathered outside Mercedes-Benz Stadium, blasting his music, rapping along, and even setting off fireworks while a DJ kept the energy alive.
The cancellation followed a reported altercation involving YB’s entourage at the venue’s VIP entrance. It adds to a string of safety-related show cancellations, including Chicago earlier this month. Despite that, the rapper’s Make America Slime Again tour continues — with a highly anticipated homecoming performance in New Orleans tonight, October 19.
Local reports say the city is deploying over 400 officers, armored vehicles, and drones for security during his back-to-back shows. Even G Herbo has spoken in support of YB, urging positivity and unity among Black artists.
As NBA YoungBoy returns to his hometown stage, fans and officials alike are watching closely, hoping the rest of the MASA tour runs smoothly.
