Amid rumors of rancor within the Chris Brown/Bow Wow tour, the two hip-hop heartthrobs are calling off their Jan. 23 show at Prudential Center in Newark, NJ.
The date, announced in mid-December, was originally scheduled for Jan. 21, then quickly moved to Jan. 23. The cancellation was announced this afternoon.
Bow Wow recently laughed off reports of mid-tour rivalry that recalled the famous split between Jay-Z and R. Kelly. Various blogs and Websites alleged that Bow Wow spit on Brown following technical difficulties at a Dallas concert, but Bow Wow yesterday told MTV. com: "I just got off the phone with Chris. My mom called me and told me about the rumor. I called him and told him, and he started laughing."
So what's the problem? Perhaps Brown and Bow Wow oversaturated the market? Brown and Bow Wow already played Madison Square Garden on Dec. 21 and are due to play there again tomorrow. That show is still scheduled as planned, according to concert promoter Live Nation.
