Kendrick Lamar Pulls Out Of Eminem NZ Show

Kendrick Lamar has pulled out of Eminem's 'Rapture' New Zealand show due to “scheduling conflicts”, with Odd Future and 360 drafted in to replace him.

Announced as the key support on the New Zealand and Australian dates last October, Lamar – who was nominated for a number of Grammy Awards this year – told New Zealand fans, “Sorry I'm missing you this time, but the homies Odd Future will kill it for you and I'm excited for Australia this month.”

Promoter Paul Dainty said that Lamar will “definitely” still be joining the Australian dates, which also boast J Cole, 360 and Action Bronson.

Originally tied to the tour, Chance The Rapper has ruled himself out.

The New Zealand Rapture show at Auckland's Western Springs Stadium takes place Saturday 15 February with Eminem, J Cole, Odd Future, Action Bronson, David Dallas and 360.
