Jay-Z Cancels Last Leg of Tour

Jigga What?

The Blue Print 3’s innovator, Jay-Z, has abruptly canceled the remainder of his tour across several U.S. college campuses and arenas which was slated to wrap up on November 22 in Austin, Texas.

Other shows scheduled for Tuesday in Lubbock, Texas, Thursday in Alberquerque, N.M. and  Friday in El Paso, Texas have all been erased from Hova’s “to-do” list and here’s the zinger—No explanation for the cancellations have been given except that there was a scheduling conflict.

What exactly this conflict was has not been specified and Mtv reported that Jay-Z’s rep Jana Fleishman nor a spokesperson from Live Nation would comment on the matter.

Though with cancellations come new revelations like Jigga’s announcement of his 2010 Blue Print 3 tour with Young Jeezy.  The tour will be a 17-date run which will begin in February and end in March.  The full schedule of tour dates can be viewed below.

2/22 Houston @ Toyota Center
2/23 Dallas @ American Airlines Center
2/25 New Orleans @ New Orleans Arena
2/27 Atlanta @ Philips Arena
2/28 Greensboro, North Carolina @ Greensboro Coliseum Complex
3/3 Washington, DC @ Verizon Center
3/7 Norfolk, Virginia @ Scope Arena

3/11 Boston @ TD Garden

3/16 Pittsburgh @ Mellon Arena
3/19 St. Louis @ Scottrade Center
3/20 Indianapolis @ Conseco Fieldhouse
3/22 Denver @ Pepsi Center

3/24 San Jose, California @ HP Pavilion
3/26 Los Angeles @ Staples Center

In lieu of his cancellation announcements, the rapper was spotted Monday night in London performing with Rihanna during her webcast concert to promote her new album Rated-R.

Could this be his scheduling conflict?  Let’s just hope the BP3 tour sticks to the script.
