Posted by New York, N.Y. – Sleepy Hallow hoped to end his Still Sleep? Tour on a high-note back in his hometown of New York City, but his final show date was scrapped on Monday (December 13) due to Irving Plaza security concerns.
The 2021 HipHopDX Rising Star voiced his frustration with the venue who allegedly didn’t even want to let Sleepy into his dressing room hours before the show which was eventually canceled altogether.
“My show in NY was canceled,” the Brooklyn native wrote on his Instagram Story. “Security was on some hoe shit. 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.”
