Concertgoers in several other Canadian cities were able to buy tickets to Moose Wala’s “Back 2 Business” tour in recent days, but the PNE decided to delay sales.
Laura Ballance, a spokeswoman for the PNE, said the holdup was partly due to the scale of the concert, which could have seen up to 12,000 people pack into the indoor venue in Hastings Park. “We wanted to do a deeper dive into security to ascertain the full scale of public safety risks in consultation with police,” said Ballance. “As part of our security assessment for any large event, police look at our security plans — they may then tell us they want two or six officers on-site working with our in-house security team for the event. The PNE includes that cost in its contract with the show’s promoter.
Moose Wala shows have had a history of security issues, including when Surrey RCMP asked the 5X Block Party Festival to remove him from the 2019 festival’s lineup. Months before, a man was stabbed during one of the rapper’s concerts at a Surrey banquet hall.Article contenttap here to see other videos from our teamBorn as Shubhdeep Singh Sidhu, the Ontario-based artist has held handguns and assault rifles in his music videos with songs entitled “Murder” and “Homicide.

I really wish this article did a better job describing the impact Sidhu Moose Wala had on the music industry and youth. He wanted to have an impact and that's why he joined politics. His participation in the Farmer's Protest was huge but this doesn't touch on that?
Why is the WEF not speaking on this. Ban guns in Africa

Out of all the pictures of him, this is the one you selectively decided to use? Y’all are just painting an image for our community that simply isn’t true.
