Rapper Megan thee Stallion has called off  her Glasgow gig just over a week before she was due to perform in the city.

The singer was scheduled to perform the OVO Hydro on 4 July 2024 as part of her Hot Girl Summer tour.

However the 29-year-old has now announced extra shows in the united State of America ( USA) including one in Atlanta the night before she was due in Scotland.

Her other United Kingdom (UK) dates have been rescheduled as a result, but due to a “construction project” at the Hydro the gig has now been completely cancelled or called off.

The OVO Hydro said that the venue was not available for the given  date requested by the rapper and her management.

A number of fans took to social media to express their unhappiness at the news, calling it “ridiculous” to cancel at such short notice.

In an Instagram post, the singer stated: “With the Dallas Mavericks making it to the NBA Finals and the HGS Dallas show moving, we’ve had to shift a few of our tour dates to accommodate the change but I am still soooooo excited to visit and perform for y’all.

“To my Glasgow Hotties I promise I’ll be there soon, the venue informed us of a complex construction project that will close the venue forcing us to cancel the show. But we will find a date in the future !!! I love y’all and can’t wait to see you.”

The singer’s collaboration with Cardi B, WAP, topped the UK charts in September 2020 and was praised as one of the year’s best, and most provocative, songs.

Other shows on the tour – in Birmingham, Manchester and London – will take place from 14 July onwards.

A spokesperson from the Scottish Event Campus, where the Hydro is based, said: “This date could indeed have gone ahead however the artist needed to move the original date and the venue was unavailable on the dates requested for the arrangement.”

They added they hoped she would perform at the venue in the future.
