Why didn't they just postpone it a day or two? Makes no sense for them to cancel it outright!

[@johnnygavin3654]

Always beware of any event outside!

[@KitCat1988]

Sunday was the windy day. I live a mile from the venue and it was not that windy. 🤔

[@blessedfire365xgf]

BJ is probably just not happy who knows 😭

[@societynewsnetwork5973]

They did it for safety! Or would you rather risk your life in a stage collapse? Do your research, it happens.

[@Brink33]

Lol scammers be quiet

[@SparkyTuttle]

The wind stopped last night. I'm not sure how far in the future the weather folks get their info but I can't see how we are letting anyone down.

“So…I just wasted all this money…for my hair…” 😭😂 1:26

[@CountrysideCutie]

🤣🤣🤣

[@BoltRM]

30 mph winds? Doesn't that happen almost every day in the desert?

[@checkoutmyyoutubepage]

No. You’re a bot and don’t live in Vegas.

[@lorenl9262]

This is not the first time that they have cancelled and guess what??? Everyone that purchased the tickets has told me that they will not returning to this event!!!!

[@JohnDoe-wy1yd]

The rumor I heard from law enforcement was they had intelligence gathered from social media that there was going to be gun violence. Threats from rival gangs is what stopped the event but that's not "in good form" to talk about.

[@ms.p5183]

I believe it that's why we went to the Jazz fest " Grown & Sexy"

[@galaxy2901]

The security checkpoints are crazy. No way they was getting guns in

[@Brink33]

No lol

[@jmtrs79]

everybody went to the casinos instead

[@jonesaaron62]

Lmao, Vegas was going to get that $$$$ either way

[@SNMSRACING]

It's the last thing the City wanted. Las Vegas is the entertainment capital of the world and wants to keep that honor. Cancellations look bad.

[@blessedfire365xgf]

I wanted to see neal McCoy and it was rained out i was devastated take care las Vegas

[@user-qv3uv3ur4x]

Oh well ! 😂😂

[@Mary-us8jb]

How high did the winds get?

[@dadrewco100]

30 miles per hour not as high as they thought .

[@ms.p5183]

5 miles top

[@dadrewco100]

@@ms.p5183 it was at least 20 mile per hour winds all day long . By the way where did you get the number 5 MPH ?

[@Mary-us8jb]

@@ms.p5183 I just checked the winds were at 60 mph. I live close to Las Vegas.

[@filafuentes3194]

I want to sue

[@Brink33]

You should. Talking about 30 days to get a refund is crazy!

[@filafuentes3194]

Big facts like it took you 2 minutes to take 2k from me tf

[@OriginalDreams-ui2lm]

I'm so glad it was cancelled a bit of reality check

[@thevegasreport]

Shit happens
