Both Snoop Dogg and LL Cool J have canceled their headline appearances in New Orleans scheduled in August.

Snoop Dogg’s High School Reunion Tour featuring DJ Drama, Wiz Khalifa, Too $hort, Warren G, and Berner was supposed to visit the Smoothie King Center on August 15 as part of a 33-date tour. The High School Reunion Tour is still scheduled to begin on July 7 at the Rogers Arena in Vancouver, British Columbia, with no reason for the cancellation of the New Orleans show.

LL Cool J was scheduled to bring his F.O.R.C.E. Live Tour, featuring The Roots, DJ Jazzy Jeff, Rakim, Juvenile, and Big Boi, to the Smoothie King Center on August 23. The show would have reportedly featured a tribute to hip-hop’s 50th anniversary inspired by the tribute the Roots orchestrated at this year’s Grammy Awards. The F.O.R.C.E. Live Tour was supposed to kick off at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn on June 27 but is now set to roll out on August 11 in Baltimore. 

Over the weekend, LL Cool J posted a video message to Instagram to apologize for the rescheduling or, in the case of New Orleans, cancellation of multiple shows on the tour.

“The production has to be right,” he said in the video. “I’ve got to be 100% ready. I love my fans. It’s got to be right… It’s going to be a show like you’ve never seen before.”

Local rap fans still have numerous shows to watch at the Smoothie King Center this year, including Lil Durk on August 22, Lil Baby on September 19, and Drake on September 20.

Additionally, the ESSENCE Festival of Culture will celebrate hip-hop’s 50th anniversary in the Caesars Superdome from June 30 to July 2 with performances from Missy Elliott, Ms. Lauryn Hill, Megan Thee Stallion, Doug E. Fresh, Big Daddy Kane, EPMD, KRS-One, Slick Rick, Jermaine Dupri, Big Boi, Gucci Mane, Lil Jon, Ludacris, T.I., Ice Cube, Ice-T, Eve, Salt-N-Pepa and local favorites Mia X and Juvenile.
