\n\tAmerican rapper Cardi B has pulled out of her highly anticipated performance at BZR WKND Jamaica, just 10 days before she was scheduled to headline the festival at the National Stadium in Kingston.<\/p>\n
\n\tCardi\u2019s representatives confirmed the cancellation to Billboard yesterday, saying the \u201cAH HA\u201d rapper will no longer perform at the October 18 event.<\/p>\n
\n\t\u201cCardi B will not be performing at BZR WKND Jamaica on October 18, 2026,\u201d her representatives told Billboard.<\/p>\n
\n\tThe rapper\u2019s team said Cardi appreciates the support from her Jamaican fans and hopes to see them in the future.<\/p>\n
\n\t\u201cFor information regarding the status of BZR WKND Jamaica, ticketing, or other event-related matters, please contact the event organisers directly,\u201d the statement added.<\/p>\n
\n\tThe announcement comes as questions now surround the status of the four-day BZR WKND Jamaica, which was expected to bring together music, culture, food, tourism, fashion and entertainment.<\/p>\n
\n\tBillboard reported yesterday that event organisers had not responded to requests for comment regarding Cardi\u2019s cancellation.<\/p>\n
\n\tCardi was scheduled to headline the October 18 show at the National Stadium, following a hugely successful year that included her \u201cLittle Miss Drama\u201d tour.<\/p>\n
\n\tHer Jamaica appearance would have marked another major international booking for the festival, which had already announced a strong line-up of Jamaican and international acts.<\/p>\n
\n\tGrammy-nominated dancehall star Spice was previously announced as the host, while R&B singer Keyshia Cole and dancehall acts including Malie Donn, Ding Dong, Stalk Ashley and Shaneil Muir are among the performers announced.<\/p>\n
\n\tThe cancellation is a major blow to the festival\u2019s October 18 headline show, with Cardi having been promoted as its biggest international attraction.<\/p>\n
\n\tThe rapper\u2019s representatives did not give a reason for her withdrawal.<\/p>\n
\n\tThey also stressed that information about Cardi\u2019s future performances will be communicated through her official channels.<\/p>\n
\n\tCardi\u2019s planned Jamaican performance had generated significant buzz, particularly following her successful return to the live stage with the \u201cLittle Miss Drama\u201d tour earlier this year.<\/p>\n
\n\tNow, with the October 18 date fast approaching, attention is likely to turn to whether BZR WKND will proceed as planned and what arrangements will be made for ticket holders following the headliner\u2019s withdrawal.<\/p>\n
