Drake has postponed his upcoming concert shows at the Apollo Theater for a second time.
The rapper was originally scheduled to perform at the venue on November 11, but had to cancel in order to pay his respects at the funeral of friend and fellow rapper Takeoff that same day.
The show was then rescheduled for December 6.
The rapper, along with his radio channel Sound42, and broadcaster SiriusXM wrote in a joint statement sent to PEOPLE that ‘production delays’ were cited as the reason for yet another postponement.
“These upcoming SiriusXM shows are very special to us. If you’re going to play the world-famous Apollo Theater, it has to be a world-class production. But an experience that our fans deserve. Also, we are against some production delays that are beyond our control,” the statement read.
The statement further explained that the decision came after many “difficult meetings” and discussions, explaining that it would allow the necessary time to complete the work.
His appearance at the Apollo Theater has been rescheduled for 21 and 22 January 2023.
According to the outlet, the Hotline Bling hitmaker, 36, released a joint album with 21 Savage on Nov. 4 and performed his final live performance on Aug. 1 at the Budweiser Stage in his hometown of Toronto.
