Wiley and Dappy have been forced to cancel all dates on their upcoming 'Meeting Of The Minds' UK tour due to 'unforeseen circumstances'. 

The 'Godfather Of Grime' and the N-Dubz star were due to head out on a string of joint dates in October and November, but have now pulled all shows for unknown reasons. 

"Due unforeseen circumstances Wiley and Dappy's 'Meeting Of The Minds' Tour in October and November has been cancelled," they said in a statement. "All refunds will be available at point of purchase. Wiley and Dappy would like to apologise to all fans and hope to be touring soon."

Last month, Wiley released a new single 'Flying' - marking his return to previous record label, Big Dada, following a dispute with Warner Records after the leak of his upcoming album The Ascent. The track sees 'Eskiboy' return to his grime roots beneath a filthy and fast beat, as the East London rapper spits in a fittingly victorious tone: "I'm back where I want to be, flying."

Watch the video for 'Flying' by Wiley below:

Wiley recently hit headlines after he was faced with a chorus of boos from the CockRock Festival crowd as word had spread that he'd tweeted about his desire not to play at the festival.

After 15 minutes and just three songs, Wiley decided he'd had enough and left the stage before taking to Twitter to taunt his critics.

He wrote: "I just earnt £1000 a min. I don’t care about money and I am not fooled by charities either but I’m gonna p**s this 15 k up the wall. Faced up to a few Pagans and got paid.... #LightWork haters suck ur mum wtf.” (sic)

The 34-year-old hit the headlines earlier this summer when he refused to turn up for his Glastonbury slot and once again used Twitter to explain his reasons.

Angry festival-goer, Freddy Quinne hit back: “If you had any decency you’d give your 15 grand to a local charity. You didn’t earn it.”

But the godfather of grime replied: “I would rather burn it.”
