LOS ANGELES (Reuters) -
A U.S. and Canada tour by Kanye West and Lady Gaga has been canceled with no reason given just weeks after the rap star came under public fire for humiliating country star Taylor Swift at an awards ceremony.

Concert promoter Live Nation said in a statement on Thursday that the "Fame Kills" tour, that was due to kick off in Phoenix, Arizona on November 10 and run through January, had been canceled with refunds available at the point of sale.

West came under fire after an outburst at the MTV Video Music wards when he grabbed the microphone as country teen star Taylor Swift was responding to her best female video award to say that R&B star Beyonce should have won Swift's trophy.

The Grammy winner has since apologized to Swift and expressed regret twice on the Web and in a TV appearance on "The Jay Leno Show" for his behavior that drew boos from the crowd and prompted a ban of his music by some radio stations in California and Florida.

West told Leno last month that he needed to take "time off," saying he hadn't taken enough time to grieve for his mother who died in November 2007.

"I need to, after this, take some time off and just analyze how I'm going to make it through the rest of this life, how I'm going to improve," he told Leno last month.

50 Cent called this shit "The Gay Tour" and the gay mafia made him apologize for it

__

50 Cent has apologized for comments he made about Kanye West and Lady Gaga's planned Fame Kills Tour during a Wednesday interview with Angie Martinez on New York radio station Hot 97.

In the interview, 50 referred to West and Gaga's just-canceled jaunt as "the gay tour" (making light of an interview Gaga had done with Out magazine earlier this year), took jabs at West's sexuality and said the rapper was "cool with the gay folk."

"I have nothing against them, but he's cool with them. He goes, drops his video off to them," Fif joked to Martinez. "Remember 808s & Heartbreak? Where'd he premiere it? ['The] Ellen DeGeneres [Show']. He went there to premiere his video. He's conscious of the gay community and wants them to buy his CDs."

The barbs raised more than a few eyebrows (Perez Hilton took Fif to task, calling his comments "vomitous"). So on Thursday afternoon (October 1), 50 took to his blog to offer an apology and an explanation.

"During an interview with Angie Martinez yesterday, certain comments I made were taken entirely out of context. When I referred to the Lady Gaga tour as 'the gay tour,' I was basically repeating what I thought she had referred to the tour in the past," 50 wrote on ThisIs50.com. "It was not my intention to offend anyone. I don't have a problem with anyone's lifestyle and have no issue with Lady Gaga. She makes great music."

At press time, representatives for West and Gaga had not responded to MTV News' requests for comment on the matter. The Fame Kills Tour was scheduled to kick off November 10 before it was called off Thursday.
