(AllHipHop News) Last night MC Wars was supposed to host a rap battle between Keith Murray and Fredro Starr, but the match-up never took place. After the crowd at Atlanta’s The Atrium venue waited hours for the show to start, the main event of “NWO 2” was cancelled over allegations the two performers were not paid for their appearances.

The major undercard for the evening, Bonecrusher versus Mike Jones, was axed as well. The audience at the location was nowhere near capacity, and many fans began to leave throughout the night after the original start time of 9 pm was pushed back to well after midnight.

Both Murray and Starr took to Twitter to address the cancellation of the highly publicized event.
