French Montana cancels community college concert

Rapper French Montana has pulled out of a gig at a community college in Syracuse, New York.

The hip-hop star, 32, was due to perform at Onondaga Community College's SRC Arena & Events Center on Friday (21Apr17), but the concert will not be going ahead.

"Onondaga Community College and the SRC Arena and Events Center regret to announce the cancellation of the French Montana concert scheduled for this Friday, April 21st, 2017," a statement on the college's Facebook page read. "Tickets purchased with credit cards will be automatically refunded starting tomorrow."

They did not give a reason for the cancellation and French hasn't commented on the news.

The two-time Grammy nominee moved to the U.S. from Morocco when he was 13 years old, making his breakthrough with his 2013 album Excuse My French.
