Swedish Rapper's Concert Cancelled After Murder Plot Reports

Swedish rapper's concert cancelled after murder plot reports

A music festival in Sweden on Friday cancelled a concert with rapper Yasin, following media reports of a murder plot against the artist, organisers said.

The police foiled the gang's plan. The booking of convicted felon Yasin Abdullahi Mahamoud has created controversy over the tax funding of the festival.

The Brännbollsyran music festival, which takes place in the northern Swedish city of Umeå, has decided to cancel a concert by Swedish rapper Yasin after media reports emerged of a planned assassination attempt on the artist.

Yasin was supposed to have played for the first time in a long time on Friday, but it was canceled after articles about assassination plots against him.

Rapper Yasin was supposed to play his first gig in nine years on Friday night – but now it is being cancelled. "The reason is the concern of visitors and staff based on media reports," the organizer writes on Instagram.

Two people have been arrested on suspicion of a murder plot against the artist Yasin during his concert on Friday night at Brännbollsyran in Umeå, according to information provided to Aftonbladet.
