J Balvin and Roddy Ricch will no longer perform at MTV’s Video Music Awards on Sunday (August 30), according to Variety.

“As with every awards show, there are always last-minute talent changes. That said, this year has more logistical hurdles than most and the health and safety of our employees and partners is of the utmost importance,” a VMA source told Variety. Lady Gaga, Ariana Grande, The Weeknd, BTS, Doja Cat, and Miley Cyrus are among the other performers still scheduled for the show, which was originally set to happen at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn. MTV changed those plans over safety concerns, however, and will instead shoot performances at different locations around the city.

Both J Balvin and Roddy Ricch are up for multiple awards. J Balvin is nominated for his collaborations with Anuel, Maluma, and the Black Eyed Peas, while Roddy Ricch got nods for Best New Artist, Best Hip-Hop, and Song of the Year for “The Box.” See the full list of nominees here.
