As of Saturday, it appears that Moneybagg Yo's show is the only canceled event. AEW Wrestling, Kirk Franklin, and Stevie Nicks, are all still set to perform at the venue. It's unclear what led to the cancelation of Moneybagg Yo's concert; however, Lil Baby recently stopped a performance at FedEx Forum short due to gunfire breaking out. "A person was shot last night at FedEx Forum during the Lil Baby concert. The incident is under investigation and we are fully cooperating with the Memphis Police Department," a spokesperson for the venue said afterward, according to Fox 13. Lil Baby added on Twitter: "Unfortunately I Couldn't Perform Last Night In Memphis, Ima Make Sure Everybody Gets A Refund Tho (heart hands emoji)."

Moneybagg Yo kicked off his Larger Than Life tour in Orlando, last month. The concert in Memphis was set to conclude the run of shows. He's already performed in Atlanta, New York, and Los Angeles. Be on the lookout for further updates on the tour on HotNewHipHop.
