Award-winning American rapper Cardi B says she will not be performing at the Atlanta’s One Music Festival (OMF) scheduled earlier.
Cardi broke the unexpected news to her fans and patrons through a statement shared on her official social media platforms.
According to her, she will not be performing as she has been hospitalized for a medical emergency.
“I am so sad to share this news, but I’ve been in the hospital recovering from a medical emergency the last couple of days and I won’t be able to perform at ONE MusicFest,” the Grammy-winning rapper wrote on Instagram.
She added “It breaks my heart that I won’t get to see my fans this weekend.”
This year’s edition of OMF will kick off in Atlanta’s Old Fourth Ward neighborhood at Central Park on Oct. 26, and continue on Oct. 27. It will take place rain or shine, starting at noon each day. The two-day event will feature performances from top musicians such as Earth, Wind & Fire, Gunna, Fantasia, Dru Hill, and a host of others.
OMF founder Jason “J” Carter previously told Blavity, “We’ve been trying to get Cardi on our lineup for a while, so finally landing her is a major highlight. She’s a staple in hip-hop and one of the biggest personalities in the culture. We’re happy to welcome her to the OMF stage. Cardi has been teasing a new album for a while, and her record label and team are fully behind pushing out new music this year. She’s already released a couple of hit singles, so I think her fan base is eagerly awaiting her next album. We can’t wait.”
Speaking on Gunna, Carter said “Gunna embodies Atlanta through and through. We always aim to have someone high up on our lineup who represents Southern and Atlanta culture, so Gunna was a perfect fit. We’ve been big fans of his since day one, and when he finally confirmed, we knew he was the one to wave the Atlanta flag for us at OMF this year. Since this is his hometown, we can expect some exciting surprises as well.”
