Many fans were left angry Tuesday night after the Indianapolis concert of Grammy-winning rapper Cardi B was canceled less than an hour before it was scheduled to start because of an "unverified threat" to the hip-hop star.
The Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department tweeted: “This evening, there was a scheduled concert at Bankers Life. We were notified of an unverified threat to the artist and the artist canceled this evening’s concert - there is no immediate threat to public safety, this not an active incident. Ongoing investigation #IMPDNow”
The concert’s venue, Bankers Life Fieldhouse, announced the abrupt cancellation on Twitter; the rapper’s show was to be rescheduled for September 11.
The venue postponed the show at 6:24 p.m.; the concert was supposed to begin at 7 p.m.

The news outlet reported that multiple police officers and security told the IndyStar that the young rapper, whose real name is Belcalis Almanzar, had been at the venue for a sound check earlier in the day.
The rapper recently has been wading into politics, and she announced she would record a video with Bernie Sanders geared toward attracting young voters. The rapper shared a photo on Instagram of her having a one-on-one chat with the independent Vermont senator. She said Sanders shared with her his plans to “change this country.”
