AceShowbiz - Sleepy Hallow didn't want to disappoint his fans. The "Deep End Freestyle" rapper, real name Tegan Joshua Anthony Chambers, recently apologized to his online devotees for his show cancellation following a needle stabbing incident.
The 21-year-old Brooklyn native announced the cancellation via Instagram Story. "My show in NY was canceled," he lamented. "Security was on some hoe s**t. They wasn't even tryna let me in at one point. Apologies 2 all my fans who came out.. A refund is a must and I'm working [on] a free show for y'all rn."
Also revealing the news was Hallow's record label, Winners Circle Entertainment. "Winner circle would like to apologize to our fans and supporters who traveled to see Sleepy Hallow, Eli Fross and special guests who were performing today at Irving Plaza. Due to Irving Plaza's security, disrespect, and rudeness, the show had to be cancelled," the statement read.
"We did an entire national tour and had no issues with any venues we performed at. We wanted to leave NYC as the last 2 tour dates for a reason," it added. "We wanted to show out city love and give our fans a show to remember. The security issues got so bad, Irving Plaza didn't seem fit to allow Sleepy in his own green room hours before the show, and had our artists & company waiting outside. We will reschedule a new show soon. Anyone who paid will be reimbursed. Once again, we're sorry!"
The cancellation arrived after two concertgoers were reportedly stabbed with a syringe at the Sunday, December 12 show. According to the New York Post, they were a 17-year-old male and 21-year-old female who were "jabbed in the buttocks" by a woman.
The victims reportedly were bleeding from the attack, prompting them to walk into Mount Sinai Beth Israel hospital to get treatment for their non-life-threatening injuries. The motive behind the stabbing remains to be seen. No arrests were made.
