A "minor foot injury" has caused Fatman Scoop to pull out of his first New Zealand tour.
The rapper was due to kick off his three-date tour on Thursday in Wellington, before heading to Auckland and Tauranga.
But a press released issued by promoters said he'd been forced to return home after being injured during an Australian show.
As a result, all shows have been cancelled.
"Fatman Scoop sustained a minor foot injury during a recent show in Australia that has required him to return to New York," the release said.
