If you were hoping to see Future perform last weekend at either the Roots Picnic event OR Summer Jam, you were severely let down. Future already vented his frustrations and now we hear from his manager, Anthony Saleh.

Saleh told Billboard in an article:
“Future’s two big performances were severely affected this weekend due to a firestorm of unfortunate events. To begin with, the generator that powered the sound at The Roots picnic went out multiple times during Future’s set and he was forced against his own will to end the show early.”
The drama surrounding Summer Jam was even worse:
“The storm that was fast approaching the NY/NJ area affected Hot 97’s Summer Jam. We sat around and watched the storm come and pass, ready to hit the stage,” Saleh recalled. “Once we arrived at Summer Jam there apparently was a riot that broke out in a section during another set. We were told that the station was forced by the city and the venue to cut us from the show. The festival organizers came to Future’s dressing room and personally asked him to leave immediately. Future was crushed by the request but was told it was in the best interest and for everyone’s safety that he leave. We couldn’t be more disappointed but we promise our fans that in spite of the rocky start we will do everything in our power to make this summer one for the history books!!!”
