UPDATED 12/16/23, 3:45 p.m. ET: Travis Scott's Chicago fans were stumped that the Utopia artist canceled their Circus Maximus tour stop.
On Friday, Dec. 15th, vexed Scott fans went to social media with their frustrations when the rapper shared a statement after 4 p.m. ET about the concert's postponement. On Saturday, Scott explained the ordeal on X, saying that his flight from Saudia Arabia—where he was was an opener at the Soundstorm Festival—didn't make it back to the United States in time for the Chicago show.
Although the Houston native initially didn't reveal his reasons for the concert cancellation, but he made an X post about being "SOOOOOOO FUCKKKKINGGGGG HOTTTTTTTTTTT," ahead of the concert's cancellation, which some guessed was the rapper airing out his frustration.
The concert was scheduled to be held at the United Center and will possibly be rescheduled for the second Circus Maximus leg, set to begin in January 2024. The tour has otherwise been a proven hit, with Scott selling out multiple locations, including his first headlining performance at Los Angeles' SoFi Stadium.
The cancellation follows Scott and former professional tennis player John McEnroe going viral for their "disagreement" over the forthcoming Cactus Jack x Nike Attack drop. In a video, McEnroe argued in a Zoom meeting that 'Cactus Mac' was a better name for the shoe and later doubled down, saying that his original Nike Mac Attack predated Scott's birth, and therefore, shouldn't be named after him. The shoe is rumored to release on Dec. 19th, although it hasn't been confirmed by Nike.
