Why are the Lil Durk’s uk tour dates cancelled?

The venues where Lil Durk was due to perform took to Twitter today to announce that ‘due to unforeseen circumstances’ the rapper’s shows had been cancelled.

As well as his London shows’ Lil Durk was also due to play at the O2 Institute in Birmingham and the Manchester Academy this weekend.

Lil Durk himself has remained silent on the matter so far, with no official explanation for the cancelled shows offered on his social media accounts.

Fans of the rapper have claimed on social media that Lil Durk’s UK shows have been cancelled because he was refused entry into the country.

They claim that he has not been allowed into the UK because the American star is currently facing charges in connection with a shooting in Atlanta that took place in February 2019.

In June last year, a judge granted Lil Durk bond after he turned himself in to authorities in May 2019, after a warrant for his arrest was issued.

Durk Derrick Banks has denied being directly involved in the incident, according to TMZ.

Metro.co.uk has reached out to Lil Durk’s management for comment.
