Ruff Ryders/Cash Money Dates Cancelled
In the wake of a backstage fracas that sent six victims to the emergency room, two upcoming dates of the Ruff Ryders/Cash Money tour have been put on ice.
Interscope Records, which handles Ruff Ryders Records, confirms that planned shows in Tampa on Thursday night and Miami on Friday night have been cancelled. Interscope could not offer a reason for the move, and neither local promoters nor the tour's manager could be reached for comment.
On Monday night, the tour's stop at Boston's FleetCenter was marred by a backstage incident that saw numerous victims stabbed and one struck by a marble bench.
Local radio stations have speculated that the Boston incident played a part in the move to cancel the Tampa show.
