A popular Cardiff based MC has been dropped from New Zealand’s Rolling Meadows music festival after posting a homophobic Tweet and allegedly refusing to apologise.
The drum and bass artist, whose real name is Marcus Coaxley, deleted his social media accounts following backlash from his use of a deeply offensive homophobic slur online.
Rapper Mr Traumatik, has more than 976,280 monthly listeners on Spotify and is known for sexually explicit and controversial lyrics.
He was scheduled to play New Zealands Rolling Meadows festival this december with producer DJ Frenzee, but organisers confirmed on Tuesday they had “taken action with cancelling his performance at Rolling Meadows”.
The move follows a decision from a promoter in the United Kingdom to cancel the artist’s shows.
“As most of you will be aware Mr Traumatik made a disgusting homophobic comment on Twitter last night,” Bath venue Moles tweeted.
“As the promoter of his UK tour we gave him the chance to apologise, and he has refused to do so.
“With this said we have removed him from all upcoming shows.”
