Jack Harlow has announced that his Las Vegas show has been canceled, blaming an airline snafu for his failure to launch.
The rapper-turned-actor took to Twitter on Sunday (May 29) to announce that his plane — which was grounded in Kentucky — was no longer cleared for takeoff, thus resulting in the cancelation of his Vegas show that same evening.
“Makes me fuckin sick typing this,” he began his statement. “For the first time in my entire career I’m not gonna make it to my own show. Trying to get to Vegas tonight but I’m stuck in Kentucky. The plane we booked suddenly was no longer cleared to take off. Completely out of my control but I feel horrible. We have been trying everything, looking for other available flights, trying to find someone to take us. But it’s not gonna happen.”
He continued: “I’ve been excited as hell for tonight, reading the texts yall have been sending me, adding your song requests to the set and everything. I hate this. This is not the artist or person I ever want to be. Refunds will of course be made and I will be working to make this up to every single person that came out tonight. Thank y’all for coming and waiting. I’m so sorry.”
Harlow’s fans seemed to take the cancellation in stride, with one noting that he “literally manifested this” and quoted a lyric from “Is That Ight?” as proof. “No airports and no flights Is how I wanna live my life is that aight?” the fan wrote.
But for what it’s worth, the “First Class” rapper has been enjoying more success as an actor as of late.
In addition to critical and commercial acclaim for his role in the reboot of White Men Can’t Jump, he’s also been recently added to the all-star lineup of the new Apple film, The Instigators, which will also star Matt Damon and Casey Affleck.
The movie follows two thieves who go on the run with the help of one of their therapists after a botched robbery. Hong Chau, Paul Walter Hauser, Ving Rhames, Ron Perlman, Alfred Molina and Michael Stuhlbarg are also tapped to appear.
Matt and his best friend Ben Affleck are producing through their new company Artists Equity, while the script was handled by Casey and Chuck MacLean.
