Due to the coronavirus pandemic, many festivals and tours have either been cancelled or postponed indefinitely. During a FaceTime interview with Big Boy’s Neighborhood, Young Thug revealed he stands to lose millions if his shows get cancelled through the end of June.
On top of that, he feels obligated to spend more money to keep his family comfortable during the quarantine. “The money I get for the shows, let’s say I get $500,000,” he said. “If I don’t do these 10 shows, that’s 5 Ms, but I don’t make $5 million ‘til June.” Thug was scheduled to play at several festivals that have been postponed, including Rolling Loud Miami, Bonnaroo, and Primavera Sound.
