Cardi B‘s concert in Indianapolis was canceled abruptly Tuesday night because of an “unverified threat” to the rapper, according to a statement shared by the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department.
“This evening, there was a scheduled concert at Bankers Life,” the IMPD statement read. “We were notified of an unverified threat to the artist and the artist canceled this evening’s concert – there is no immediate threat to public safety, this is not an active incident. Ongoing investigation.”
Tuesday night, Cardi B took to Twitter to apologize to fans and shared video of what looks like a rehearsal prior to the show getting shut down.
“Dear Indiana people I’m so sorry for today. I will like to let you know I was at the venue I was even rehearsing a new move I been excited to do on my show,” Cardi B tweeted. “Unfortunately there was a security threat that is currently under investigation right now. My safety and your safety first.”
