Skepta, whose fourth studio album Konnichiwa was released in May, was scheduled to perform at 2:30 p.m. Friday, July 29, on Perry's Stage.
Chicago native rapper Joey Purp will replace him in the line-up.
“This is crazy it doesn’t even seem like real life at this point but it’s so real,” Purp tweeted Monday regarding the change of plans.
