After many efforts to ensure that the show would go on, Lil Boosie will not be performing at the Jackson County Fairgrounds on April 18.
The concert was slated to take place during Mississippi Gulf Coast Spring Break.
WAPT reports that discussions between county officials and the promoter of the event were broken off Thursday.
Officials say negotiations for Lil Boosie to appear at the concert promoted by Keith Brown fell through because of complications with Boosie´s parole in Louisiana.
"This decision has been made based on the inability, as of April 3, for anyone to guarantee the appearance of the artist for which tickets have already been sold,¨ a Jackson county press release says.
According to the Sun Herald, Darryl Campbell, Jr., an executive management officer with the Louisiana Department of Public Safety and Corrections, says the rapper is on regular supervision.
The site reports that anyone on supervision must have permission to travel out of state.
Last week, Louisiana prison officials said that he had not been approved to leave the state.
As previously reported, Boosie was first locked up for a probation violation stemming from a 2008 drug bust. He was then indicted on first-degree murder in 2010, and acquitted last year.
Prior to release, Lil Boosie was facing an eight-year sentence for smuggling codeine, weed, and ecstasy into the Angola Prison facility. The Baton Rouge rapper pleaded guilty to the charge but his lawyer later insisted that the drug incident was a set-up by an informant.
