Skepta cancels upcoming US shows due to visa troubles

The grime head is forced to postpone his upcoming performances

Skepta has just announced via Twitter that his US visa was denied this month, resulting in the cancellation of a handful of shows, including his upcoming Coachella performances.

The Grime heavyweight was scheduled to also perform in San Fransisco, Denver, North Carolina and New York City in May. Skepta made headlines earlier this week with the official release date announcement of his upcoming, "Konnichiwa' album - content of which would have presumably been showcased during the tour dates mentioned.

The majority of the shows have been labeled as "postponed with date TBA".
