YG Cancels Australian Tour Following Missed Washington Show

Apparently work has been getting the best of West Coast rapper YG. According to organizers from the Listen Out 2014 music festival, YG has cancelled all of his Australian tour dates.

That means he won't be attending this year's Listen Out. As reported by XXL, the My Krazy Life rapper was slated to hit the stage alongside Schoolboy Q and popular Australian acts like Flume and Chet Faker.

"Unfortunately YG has cancelled his Australian tour, so he won't be appearing at Listen Out," reads an official statement by Listen Out Organizers on their Facebook page. "In better lineup news, [two] more touring acts and a host of others will be announced over the next [two] weeks."

The magazine's site also reports YG dropped out of a recent performance in Spokane, Washington at The Knitting Factory. He cited an overload of obligations or as he put it, "fukkin work i got goin on."

The "Who Do You Love" rhymer took to Twitter to make the announcement.

Luckily, those who went to this weekend's Made In America festival got to see him rock the stage.

The Compton rapper, who released his debut album this past March, has reportedly been worked on a new album and label deal with Ty Dolla $ign and DJ Mustard. Ty made the announcement last month while talking with NE Hip Hop.

"Me and YG and Mustard low-key are about to do an album together," he said. "The Pushaz Ink: The Label album. We're getting a label deal and s---, so that's going to be the first project we release. We always wanted to do it, but now we're going to get paid to do it."

Be on the look out for their album and whatever else has got YG cancelling shows.
