The Game will be coming to Canada in 2019 to promote his latest (and possibly last) album.
The Game Canadian Tour 2019 kicks off on Jan. 12 in Vancouver, but the Edmonton show scheduled for a few days later is at risk of being cancelled altogether. Short of a new venue being booked before the event, The Game might decide to forgo the date altogether.
He explained why in the caption of an Instagram post featuring the tour listing with the Edmonton info crossed out:
“After reading the countless DM’s from my Canadian fans in Edmonton I am no longer going to perform @theranchroadhouse due to the negligent & heartless behavior by security & staff who did not follow “Pro-Serve” (serving alcohol) policies, that led to the death of Mohamed Abdi less than one month ago. After being kicked out while intoxicated & not in the right mind state, he froze to death & his lifeless cold body was found the next day under a truck where he sought shelter because of the freezing temperature. I’ve always been an artist that has deeply been appreciative to all of my fans worldwide & will always be indebted to you all for helping me secure my future as well as my legacy. With that being said, I stand in full support of my Edmonton fans & their petition & here as stated above, forfeit the money that was given & hereby withdraw myself from my performance at that venue. I made my decision without talking to my team which I will do this morning in hopes to secure another venue for the Edmonton show. If I cannot, then we will all have to sacrifice that night in Mohamed “Mo” Munye Abdi’s name as well as Tyler Emes who died a year before due to the same heartless negligent venue & its staff.”
