I have no idea if he was gonna sell out Barclays, being sold out isn’t a condition of having a show

What I do know for an absolute fact is that Rolling Loud and all of these other festival dates he pulled out of have no problem with ticket sales at all…and that it’s nonsensical for him to miss the biggest tour money of his career by pulling out of them this summer…what you think he’s passing on hundreds of thousands, if not millions of dollars by pulling out of headlining festival dates that can’t be rescheduled…as an elaborate cover so he can cancel the rest of his tour dates ? :comeon:

He's still performing other shows so.... :manny:

People don’t even appreciate music these days both the “artists” and the people who consume this current garbage. Why would they pay to actually see these frauds perform?

Are either one of them decent live performers?


The art of PERFORMING needs to be brought back. I don’t fukk with Drake but at the very least he gets on that stage and PERFORMS those songs like he actually wrote them.

Cole and Kendrick have incredible live shows
Usher’s residency is Peak Performing. Breh loves what he does. These new cats don’t love this shyt.

Tickets cost too much for their actual fanbase. Tickets like 175 with all the fees it's 250-300 for a ticket
the actual fanbase has that money. They just don't think it's worth it to just see Durk or Baby. They'd rather spend that money on Rolling Loud where they can see 100 acts, get high as fukk and be outsiiiiiiiiiiiide. You can live with Lil Baby having the stage presence of Blind Fury when you have a bunch of acts you can yell gibberish for, not when he's the main act.

Say what y'all want about Taylor Swift but her fans spend racks on merch and tix and never felt cheated by her show.

Can you even imagine these nikkas practicing their stage craft? Do they even know what that is?

At some point we gotta call these nikkas the grifters that they are. :scust:

Gotta scale down on the arena/venue size. Durk is a star in his own right. But Barclays level as a headliner, nah.

Chief Keef would draw bigger crowds than both durk and lil baby. Actually Keef heading a tour with durk and baby would get probably get them Barclays numbers

Durk and Baby sodl out the Barclays within the last couple years though. They have had success doing arenas, specifically in the south and in major east coast cities. The problem they had previously was not selling out arenas in say...Iowa. Places where a Drake/Kendrick/Cole/etc can easily sell out and stitch together a huge tour that crosses the country.

I think the issue is that this is essentially the third big tour they've done within a three year span, and unlike in 2021/2022 there is far more competition. Last year it was just Kendrick. This year it's Drake, Beyonce, Taylor Swift, Morgan Wallen, etc.



That being said I do think Baby needs a career intervention. Sentiments could be changing right now. I think he needs to revisit the type of beats he's on, the sound, etc.
