A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie is calling fake news.
The Bronx-bred rapper was scheduled to headline a back-to-school concert in Newark, New Jersey on Saturday night; however, the event, dubbed Leaders of the New School Back to School Jam, was canceled hours before due to alleged threats against A Boogie.
Newark Symphony Hall announced the cancelation via Twitter.
Dexter Thomas, the CEO of the promotion company behind the show, told NBC New York the concert was called off to avoid a potential attack. The promoter said local police received a phone call Friday night from someone who threatened to shoot A Boogie as well as concertgoers.
Police did not confirm Thomas’ claims, but said the cancelation was “in the interest of public safety.”
A Boogie eventually caught wind of the report and immediately called it a lie.
“Mf’s be lien I got no static with ANYONE,” he captioned the screenshot of an article, “it’s nothing but love over here […] Newark if ya want a show book me I gotchu.”
The concert was supposed to take place at 8 p.m. ET with appearances by PnB Rock and Funk Flex. Thomas told NBC New York that the event was intended to promote peace and non-violence within the community. He also claims it is impossible to immediately reschedule the show.
