Alabama rapper iamJakeHill has cancelled a scheduled Houston performance over the infamous Morrissey venue-wide meat ban, who was also performing that day.
In a video posted on Twitter, Jake Hill gave fans an elaborate rundown of the situation. In the video, captioned “Big fuck you to @officialmoz”, Hill explains that he upon ordering food to the venue, he was instructed to eat it outdoors. A rule that he refused to comply to, and ultimately decided to cancel the tour.
“If anybody was coming to the show tonight, I’m sorry to tell you it’s been cancelled,” Hill shares in the video.
“As soon as we get here we find out that there’s a bigger artist playing on the lawn, who is a vegetarian. Which is fine. But he has made a specific contract rule that you cannot have any meat in the venue.”
“I didn’t know this until I had ordered by door dash and apparently I have to eat it outdoors like a fucking dog, or walk 500 yards down to a bar just to eat my fucking food.
“This is the twentieth show we’ve done, we’re tired, we want to relax, eat our food. But apparently God is here and he’s making it to where we can’t eat meat.
“I hate to do this but I’m not about to bow down to this guy, the show’s been cancelled. I’m sorry. I’m not bowing down to this fuckhead. Fuck you, Morrissey. Bitch!”

In a slew of follow up tweets, Hill explained, “I understand we’ll get a lot of hate for this and lose supporters but I’m not gonna be told what I can and can’t eat at a venue that I just spent 40 days getting to, all because a bigger artist doesn’t like meat. Not sucking dick tonight.”
“This is about being treated like an equal human. I’m not gonna do a show where me and my crew aren’t treated as such.”

Hill has promised fans that he will return to Houston in 2020 for a free show to make up for the cancellation.
