The Grammy-winning rapper had been due to perform at eight additional Sheeran shows when he was removed last month from the tour following remarks at a show in New Jersey.

Duane Davis is accused of leading a group of men to kill Tupac, one of rap's most influential artists, in a trial tied to the decades-long unsolved murder that became a seminal moment in rap history.
