'Heartbroken' Badshah apologises to fans as Dallas concert stops midway

Rapper Badshah took to social media on Saturday to apologise to his fans since his concert in Dallas, US, was cut short due to a "discrepancy" between local promoters and the production company". The rapper penned a long note to explain the situation to his fans and ask for their support.

Badshah is currently touring across the US and Canada for his third studio album, "Ek Tha Raja". The Paagal Tour 2024 will conclude in August.

Revealing that he is "heartbroken" as his performance was stopped midway, Badshah wrote, "Dallas, I'm literally so heartbroken and bummed about what happened today. You guys are incredible and deserve better. I was really looking forward to performing in your city but due to a discrepancy between the local promoters and the production company I was forced to cut short the set and stop the show midway."

He further asked promoters to be better equipped for large-format shows and respect fans who spend their hard-earned money to buy tickets for his concert. He said, "This isn't fair to the fans who spend their hard-earned money to purchase that ticket, and it definitely isn't fair to the whole crew who pours their hearts into putting on these tours. We rehearse for weeks, plan for months and travel tirelessly to bring you the best possible experience. The music industry is all about respect - respect for the fans as much as it is about respect for the artists and the support crew."

The rapper also clarified that his management team tried everything in their power and control to salvage the situation and ensure a smooth run but they couldn't do much. "We sincerely apologise for the inconvenience, disappointment and irritation caused due to this sheer lack of management from the promoter’s end. We will make sure things are better managed in future with a more competent promoter team that prioritises a quality experience and understands that music and touring is a serious business," wrote Badshah.

"I promise to return, and it's going to be bigger, better, and bolder! Thanks for always being there and having my back," the rapper concluded his statement.

As part of his tour,the 38-year-old will make pit stops in Toronto, Vancouver, San Francisco, Houston, Dallas and New Jersey. He will also perform in Singapore, Washington DC, Los Angeles and the Netherlands.
