Two days before a Lil Durk concert in early April, the show venue posted a message on Facebook: “The Oncenter regrets to announce that, due to extenuating circumstances the Lil Durk show … has been postponed.”
The “extenuating circumstances” were advice from the Syracuse Police Department to the venue operator, ASM Global, to cancel the show. The police had received warnings of potential violence related to the rumored appearance of a local rapper with past gang ties.
