YoungBoy Never Broke Again’s Chicago MASA Tour Date Canceled by Venue

As YoungBoy Never Broke Again travels the country on his first-ever headlining arena tour, the MASA Tour’s Chicago stop set for Wednesday has been canceled by the United Center.

The venue announced that YB’s Chicago show was canceled on Tuesday (Sept. 23) without much of an explanation.

“The United Center has made the decision to cancel the NBA YoungBoy show scheduled for Wednesday, September 24 in Chicago,” the United Center wrote in a message posted to its website. “If you purchased through Ticketmaster, refunds will be issued automatically. If you purchased from a third-party reseller, please reach out to your point of purchase.”

Ticketmaster added that refunds would be issued to all fans at the point of purchase. “You don’t need to do a thing,” the ticket giant said. “We’ll issue a refund to the original method of payment used at time of purchase, as soon as funds are received from the Event Organizer.”

The cancellation comes on the heels of the United Center implementing a stricter bag policy, which was set to ban fans from bringing bags of any kind to the YoungBoy show.

YoungBoy’s manager, Alex Junnier, called out the United Center for the last-minute cancellation on his IG Story.

“@UnitedCenter bitched out. Shoutout to Joe Myhra @UnitedCenter. He didn’t want us to have fun. scary,” he wrote, attacking Myhra, who appears to be the SVP of operations at the venue. “It’s ok everyone Joe just sits behind a desk and got nervous.”

Footage recently emerged of a fan involved in a physical altercation with an elderly security guard at YoungBoy’s Kansas City show. Per KCTV 5, a 14-year-old was detained for allegedly assaulting the T-Mobile Center employee.

“We are aware of an incident at last night’s NBA YoungBoy concert in which multiple T-Mobile Center team members were assaulted by a fan,” Shani Ross, VP Sales and Marketing for the T-Mobile Center, said in a statement to KCTV 5. “The incident was captured on video and has been provided to local law enforcement. Our immediate concern is the well-being of our staff who sustained serious injuries. After receiving prompt attention from on-site First Aid personnel, they were later treated at a local hospital.”

YoungBoy’s MASA Tour is slated to continue this week with shows in Columbus, Brooklyn and Boston. Billboard has reached out to reps for YoungBoy, Ticketmaster and the United Center for comment.
