Bobby Shmurda Cancels Tour Amid Low Ticket Sales and Management Disputes

Bobby Shmurda has announced the cancellation of his upcoming Still Alive Tour, and according to multiple sources, low ticket sales are to blame—allegedly averaging just 10 tickets per city.

Taking to Instagram, the Brooklyn rapper took partial responsibility for the cancellation. “Hey to all my fans I apologize for the tour being canceled I take full responsibility,” he wrote. However, he also placed blame on Philip Stengel of Halo Touring and Sergio Patillo, founder of Oakstreet Media, accusing them of mismanaging the tour's promotion and logistics.

In a heated post, Bobby included screenshots of private messages, where tensions escalated between him and his team. Stengel, not backing down, responded aggressively in one exchange, saying, “Anytime we can run the f*ing fade. Ain’t no b** here—you ain’t gonna talk to me like that.”

Despite the conflict, there was a brief attempt at reconciliation, but the damage was already done. Stengel publicly responded with his version of the story, asserting that the cancellation had nothing to do with promotion. “Full transparency: the tour was canceled due to an average of 10 tickets sold per show—not a lack of promotion. We ran ads. We have receipts. This wasn’t about effort. It was about demand,” he posted.

He continued, “Sometimes artists lash out publicly. That’s emotion. We deal in data. We wish Bobby Shmurda the best of luck on the club circuit.”

Screenshots shared on Stengel’s Instagram Story further confirmed poor ticket sales in cities scheduled for the tour, some reportedly showing zero sales. The tour was originally set to kick off May 15 in Springfield, Missouri, and wrap up on June 19 in Fostoria, Ohio.

Despite the setback, fans remain hopeful Bobby will bounce back with new music or club dates. As Stengel bluntly put it, “If 10 people are buying tickets, there’s no show. Period.”
