Beyonce has been slammed with the threat of a lawsuit after pulling out of a concert at a New York City nightclub.

The “Crazy In Love” hitmaker was set to perform at the Big Apple’s M2 this Saturday but suddenly axed the appearance on Wednesday. Beyonce’s reps are now claiming she is too busy preparing for her North American tour stop at NYC’s Madison Square Garden to appear at this weekend’s engagement.

Beyonce’s reps instead offered an hour-long personal appearance from the star, but establishment owner Joey Morrissey claims he has already spent $100,000 preparing for the show and he wants to be reimbursed.

“They said they were too busy with the launching of the tour and that they wouldn’t have time to do the kickoff party,” Joey explained to The NY Post’s Page Six Column on Friday.

“We sold tables for thousands of dollars for the show, and spent $100,000 renting a soundboard and other equipment, as per their stipulations. What good does her showing up for an hour do me? They’ve been totally unwilling to agree to another show?”

Morrissey is now threatening to file suit against Beyonce over the cancellation, claiming the club’s reputation has suffered — in addition to lost cash.

He adds, “We had an overwhelming response from our clubgoers, who were lining up to buy tickets and tables. This will come as a great disappointment to all of them. If Beyonce cancels and doesn’t give us a new date, this hurts our credibility in nightlife.”
