The tour was scheduled to kick off April 13 at the Taft Theatre. Instead, that show has been bumped to May 15 at the same venue because of rioting and a curfew over the shooting death of an unarmed black man by a white police officer.

The fatal April 7 shooting of Timothy Thomas, 19, sparked days of unrest, a federal investigation, and calls for accountability.

Lil’ Bow Wow, 14, whose real name is Shad Moss, went double platinum with his debut album, Beware of Dog. His song “Bow Wow (That’s My Name)” is No. 2 on Billboard’s Hot Rap Singles chart.

His tour opened April 12 in Dayton, Ohio, (a show originally billed as a warm-up date) with Lil Johnny and Lil Zane also appearing. Lil’ Bow Wow’s record label reported that the entire tour is sold out.
