Over Fan Slapping Allegation
A$AP Rocky won't be getting wild for the night at a music festival in Canada -- the event organizers just canned the rapper over his alleged fan-slapping ways.

TMZ broke the story -- A$AP was charged with criminal battery last week for allegedly slapping a fan during a Philadelphia concert ... and the victim wants his ass punished in court.

AR was scheduled to perform at York University next Wednesday in Toronto -- but the school's student federation has now pulled the plug saying, "the event cannot proceed until this matter is resolved."

The organizers added ... their decision to boot A$AP does NOT mean they think he's guilty of getting slaphappy.

The alleged victim Lisa Wade called in to TMZ Live last week -- and said the slapping was no accident.

Alleged Con Men Charged in Fake Concert Scheme

Two men have just been charged with multiple felonies after allegedly organizing bogus Lady Gaga and Rihanna concerts -- and according to prosecutors, they absconded with more than $2 million from gullible promoters.

The Manhattan D.A. just announced ... Sylvester Vincent Carroll (aka Vincent Carroll) and Meceo McEaddy (aka Ray Annis) have been charged with grand larceny and scheming to defraud in the first degree, both felonies. Carroll also faces additional charges of criminal tax fraud.

The men are accused of pretending to represent Rihanna, Lady Gaga, and even Ke$ha in order to bilk concert promoters out of tons of money.

According to the D.A., the schemes began in 2010 and went as far as Brazil, Taiwan, and Mexico -- with Carroll and McEaddy pocketing more than $2 mil and blowing the cash on cars, hotels, jewelry, and restaurants.

The two men are still in custody.

Concert Booker Vs. Rapper
You Double Crossed Us!
Gucci Mane tried to pull a fast one and perform two gigs in one night -- in two different states -- so says the pissed off concert promoter, who's suing the alleged two-timing rapper.

Empire Entertainment filed a lawsuit against Gucci -- real name Radric Davis -- claiming it paid him $22,500 to perform in Little Rock, Arkansas on November 22nd ... but didn't get their money's worth. Here's why:

Empire says prior to the gig, a nightclub in Tennessee began advertising a Gucci show for the same night -- and says Gucci himself promoted it on Twitter.

Empire says it called Gucci's people -- who assured them, no TN gig was happening.

But the night of the concert, Empire says it became clear Gucci's people lied ... claiming the rapper only performed 3 songs (15 min of stage time) and then hightailed it 138 miles to perform at the other club. Then drove back to stay in the hotel Empire provided.

Empire says Gucci's 2nd gig torpedoed their ticket sales. The company is suing for breach of contract and fraud. It wants all the cash it spent on his fee, hotel, travel and promotions.
