Controversial rapper Action Bronson has cancelled his scheduled set Osheaga.

In a statement posted to social media, Osheaga organizers said Bronson was forced to cancel due to  last-minute transportation problems.

Rappers Narcy and Yasiin Bey, aka Mos Def, were tapped to replace Bronson on the schedule.

Bronson had been the target of a petition calling for him to be banned from Osheaga due to misogynistic lyrics.
