Megan Thee Stallion had to postpone two concerts in Atlanta after a broken water main sparked a state of emergency.
The “Savage” rapper was set to perform in Georgia’s capital on Friday and Saturday. However, the water main incident led to the shows being rescheduled for Sunday and Monday.
In a statement released before the cancellation of Saturday’s gig, officials at the State Farm Arena said, “After speaking with the Mayor’s office regarding the continued water leak issues affecting downtown Atlanta, the City of Atlanta is unable to accommodate the Megan Thee Stallion performance scheduled for tonight.”
Megan expressed her frustration with the last-minute cancellation in a video message from inside the arena, saying, “Y’all was acting like I could perform, and now you’re telling me, ‘Oh by the way, when we was trying to fix the pipes, we found another issue, and now some more s**t is going on. What? They’re playing with me.”
The water main burst occurred on Friday morning at the intersection of three large water mains near Atlanta’s downtown area. Repairs were completed by Saturday evening, according to officials. The incident caused a two-day water outage, with large parts of the city under a boil water advisory.
Another water main later burst in the city’s midtown neighborhood. Officials worked to isolate that pipe from the larger water system.
