South London rapper Giggs has had his 10 date tour cancelled over police warnings over the security at each show.

Giggs planned to tour the UK with a set of dates to promote his upcoming single “Don’t Go There”, which features B.o.B. (its out now!)

The Metropolitan police confirmed they spoke to the promoters of the O2 Islington date and “advised that there were concerns about potential risk to the event, if it took place”.

A statement from the police went on to say, “We routinely exchange intelligence and information with other police forces but any police decision to advise a venue about a planned event would be taken at a local level.”

The cancellation comes after revelations that Trident had contacted XL Recordings (Giggs label) before he was signed to warn them.

On the cancellation of the concerts, the rapper said,

“I just want to thank the police for all this great promotion that they’re giving me, all these cancellations and that is just making me more powerful.”

Earlier this week, Hip Hop lost yet another artist. UK rapper Derek Boland suffered a heart attack and passed away on the 16th Novemeber.

He started in the game as a DJ, rocking on then pirate station Kiss FM.

One of his first singles was “Rock The Beat”, which he co-produced.

In 1998 he reached number 16 in the UK pop charts with “Bad Young Brother”. He also produced for acts like the Cookie Crew and he wrote one track that I grew up listening to again and again in my house, “Anfield Rap”.

Hip Hop has lost a pioneer and my thoughts are with his friends and family.

Rapper Chipmunk is taking time off promoting his new single after his work schedule left him tired and exhausted.

Yesterday the 18-year-old had posted tweets inferring sucide. One tweet read, “Is suicide easy?” while another read “I wanna die” and “Believe none of what you hear… And half of what you see!”

A spokesperson for the rapper released a statement saying Chipmunk “has been working incredibly hard, which has taken its toll” and that his “management have agreed to cancel all upcoming appearances to give him some much-needed time off.”

Chipmunk has since thanked his fans for their support.
