Post Malone has canceled six upcoming tour dates on the Big A-- Stadium Tour Part 2, where he was scheduled to perform alongside country-rap artist Jelly Roll.The affected shows include stops in El Paso, Waco, Baton Rouge, Birmingham, Tampa, and Oxford.
According to statements attributed to Post Malone on social media, the cancellations are due to scheduling conflicts and his need for additional time to complete an upcoming double album before returning to touring.He emphasized that the decision was driven by time management challenges rather than external controversies.The situation has drawn public attention in part because of ongoing online speculation surrounding Jelly Roll’s perceived political associations.

Despite this, the timing of the announcement has fueled discussion across social media, with some users suggesting possible political undertones, while others accept the official explanation of logistical constraints.Reports indicate that Malone communicated the change directly to fans, stressing his commitment to finishing new music.The article also notes that no verified evidence connects Jelly Roll’s political views to the decision.
