The headline show was part of the ongoing Up And Runnin6 Tour planned for North America and the UK.
Before his highly anticipated stop at the Palladium Times Square, Stonebwoy played in Chicago and Columbus, setting the stage for the bigger play at the 2,100-capacity auditorium in New York.
The artiste has issued a statement on social media announcing his decision to postpone the show. He said,
"Unfortunately due to production challenges at Palladium Times Square, we have had to postpone my New York headline show to a later date. A new date will be announced in due course until then all ticket purchases will be refunded in full."
Stonebwoy's preparations for botched New York show
Ahead of the show, Stonebwoy had rallied Ghanaians in the diaspora to patronise the event.
Besides his social media efforts, Stonebwoy engaged with many influencers to help hike up the frenzy.
He met viral TikTok sensations Jowodaa and Obaa Cee. The latter created a video about her pre-show engagement with Stonebwoy which significantly garnered traction on TikTok.
With the concert in Limbo, all focus has been turned to his upcoming performance in the UK which will have Fameye and AraTheJay as supporting acts.

Ghanaians react to Stonebwoy's postponed show
YEN.com.gh gathered a few comments from Ghanaians in reaction to Stonebwoy's decision to postpone his show.
Shiney Bwoy said:
"The only show with a 2,100 capacity is cancelled but the rest was able to go on, nice on him."
Sanni Mohammed wrote:
"Stonebwoy is an international artist if u like it or not. God bless the BHIM president."
Edem Kwesi remarked:
"Even the almighty Burna Boy cancelled his South Africa show. Keep pushing nyebro. The sky is not the limit. BHIM. BHIM."
Philip Amoah shared:
"He is not the only artist who has cancelled his show. Even in Ghana, Wizkid did the same thing so it is normal. In Dubai, King Promise did the same thing so why are you people behaving like he is the first artist doing this ."
Princess Lene noted:
"Yes, I'm happy. The way I was feeling sad nu cause on Thursday di3 I can't. Some of us are parents. I was praying they changed the date. The weekend is better coz I really wanna see this show. Support Ghana music."

Stonebwoy's camp speaks on industry sabotage
Earlier, YEN.com.gh reported that Stonebwoy's manager, Chief Stylez, had addressed the rumours that the dancehall musician had been sabotaged ahead of his artiste's show in the UK.
This came after three of Ghana's biggest promoters in the diaspora, Alordia, Akwaaba UK and West Coast, announced their partnership for an Independence Day concert on the same day as Stonebwoy's.
According to Stonebwoy's manager, the promoters behind the O2 Indigo event intentionally planned to host their event on the same day as his artiste - an allegation that the Akwaaba UK CEO vehemently denied.
