NBA YoungBoy’s highly anticipated Chicago show, originally scheduled for today at the United Center, has officially been canceled. Reports cite safety concerns tied to his long-standing tension with Lil Durk and the late King Von. Refunds are already being issued through Ticketmaster.
This cancellation isn’t just about one show—it’s the latest chapter in a years-long feud. The roots trace back to the O Block vs. NBA beef that escalated after King Von’s death in 2020.
