The canceled show not only caused a lot of disappointment, but also raised many questions. When Babyface took to Twitter to write, “These people just canceled our show,” many fans began questioning the legitimacy of the reason for the cancellation, with one person asking, “What citywide sanitation issue?” Another person wrote : “There is no city-wide sanitation problem. Stop lying,” while a third person noted, “I didn’t get a citywide ordinance lol.” As of this writing, there appear to have been no local reports of citywide sanitation issues in Houston over the weekend. Several people suggested the venue should just “throw up some Porta potties,” while others noted they flew to Houston from Milwaukee and New Mexico for the show, only to have it canceled just hours before its scheduled start time.
According to Warehouse Live, the canceled Babyface Ray show will be rescheduled to a later date. A date for the postponed show has not been announced at this time. The venue added: “All tickets will be honored for the future date. We apologize for the inconvenience and thank you for your patience.”
Babyface’s Houston show was part of his ongoing Courtesy of the Mob tour, which follows the release of his two albums Face and Mob in 2022. The tour, which will see the rapper joined by fellow Detroit rapper and frequent collaborator Veeze, kicked off April 6 at the Ace of Spades in Sacramento and will include stops in San Diego, Seattle, Atlanta, Austin, Boston, Detroit and more before they at The Filmore in Detroit ends on December 13.
