T.I. replaces FloRida in rodeo lineup
SIKESTON — A late change has been made to the entertainment at the 69th Annual Sikeston Jaycee Bootheel Rodeo.
On Saturday, Aug. 14, T.I. will perform in place of FloRida. According to the Sikeston Jaycee Bootheel Rodeo Board of Directors, FloRida is unable to attend the rodeo due to a scheduling conflict and the cancellation is not due to COVID-19.
“T. I. is a great entertainer,” said Rodeo Chairman Jeremiah Quick. “He has 10 hit albums and his music will fit right in Saturday night.”
Marking 15 years since he released his breakthrough album Trap Muzik, (which helped launch the popular hip hop subgenre), the multi- hyphenate artist recently received ASCAP’s inaugural Voice of the Culture award and released his 10th album, Dime Trap.
An acclaimed innovator with millions of albums sold and more than 35 million singles, T.I. has been awarded 3 Grammy Awards, 11 Billboard Awards, 3 BET Awards, 2 American Music Awards and more through the years. Viewed as a seamless collaborator whose prolific musical pairings with seminal superstars include
Drake, Beyonce, Pharrell, Rihanna, Jay- Z, Lil Wayne, Robin Thicke, M.I.A., Lady Gaga, and others, his recent politically- charged collaboration with Kanye West on “Ye Vs. The People” is also garnering raves.
Saturday night is also Suicide Prevention Awareness Night.
Saturday night tickets are on sale now for $30 and can be purchased online at SikestonRodeo.com, over the phone by calling 800-455-BULL or in person at the Rodeo box office.
