US rapper Nelly has cancelled the New Zealand leg of his "Where The Party At Tour".
The show was due to occur on 21 March at Auckland's Spark Arena, and he was billed to be joined by rap group St. Lunatics and long affiliated rapper Chingy.
Although there has been no official announcement from Nelly himself, Ticketmaster has confirmed the show is cancelled on its website.
"For all tickets booked online or by phone, the credit card used in the booking will automatically be refunded. Please allow up to five days to receive your refund.

Fans on social media were disappointed by the news.
"What happened to coming to NZ? We were looking forward to seeing you since JuicyFest cancelled!" one Facebook user commented on one of the rapper's recent posts.
