Yung Filly has been axed from another show as after the YouTube star was charged with rape and assault in Australia.
Filly - whose real name is Andres Felipe Valencia Barrientos - was detained in Brisbane on Tuesday and extradited interstate to Perth on Wednesday.
The 29-year-old is accused of sexually assaulting a woman in her 20s in his hotel on September 28 after a performance at Bar1 Nightclub in Hillarys, Perth.
The rapper, whose rapid rise to fame saw him land his own BBC show called Hot Property in 2019, had performed at Havana Nightclub on the Gold Coast two days prior to his arrest.
Clothing and food brands have been scrambling to disassociate themselves from him ever since - with German Doner Kebab, Heinz, the Football Association and ASOS among those who have appeared to pull his social media endorsements.
And now a live show of The Chunkz and Filly Show has also been cancelled, in which the pair of YouTubers interview rappers and influencers.

The Chunkz and Filly Show has made further headlines today after an unearthed clip showed Chunkz saying he wouldnt let him marry into his family - because hes heard too many stories.
The YouTuber, 28 - whose real name is Amin Mohamed - replies to the demand of what stories? with: It bends to the left... listen thats very scary in my head.
In a lewd response, Barrientos replied that it was no business of his what he did when he was clarting - or having sex - with his sibling.
He continued: Yeah but whats that got to do with you, when Im clarting? Youve just got to worry about Im treating your sibling good.

One of Yung Fillys collaborators, Angry Ginge, broke his silence on the future of their gaming team following the YouTubers arrest.
The pair of them created Girth N Turf FC in March, a virtual football team on the gaming platform EA Sports FC 24.
They broadcast their games on live-streaming service Twitch and their club boasts a line-up of some of the biggest names in both the influencer and sporting world - including Wayne Rooney and Luke Littler.
In a Twitch streaming on Thursday, Burtwistle addressed Barrientos arrest after the star appeared in court accused of sexually assaulting a woman in her 20s in Perth.
He shared: Where to start? 4 oclock in the morning, Im laying in bed, right? I see whats going on on Twitter. First of all... Im the exact same as you. Im shocked! Yeah, you know, mental. Mental!
But hes now obviously involved in legal proceedings. I cannot comment on legal proceedings. Yeah, you know how it is. Mad!
Honestly, I cant comment on legal proceedings. I dont know anything more. I know the exact same as you. I know whats been put out in the news. I dont know anything more. Please dont think I do.
It is what it is. We have to just wait for the final verdict. You will all make your own opinions and whatever and thats fine.

Yung Filly is among the legions of content creators who have made a name for themselves by amassing huge followings online and made money from video ad revenue and brand collaborations.
After leaving school with four GCSEs and trying his hand at working as a broker, he began posting comedy skits online himself and with collaborators - leading to TV presenting jobs and the start of a music career.
The online personality - estimated net worth £1.5m - was born in Colombia in 1995 before his family fled the country during the countrys decades-long civil war, moving to Lewisham, south-east London when he was just two, living above a chicken shop.
He joined YouTube in November 2013 after a video about his ex cheating on him went viral with millions of views on Facebook and quickly became an internet sensation.
Perth Magistrates Court heard Barrientos was charged with four counts of sexual penetration without consent, three counts of assault, and one count of impeding a persons normal breathing or circulation by applying pressure to their neck.
Police prosecutor Julius Depetro opposed his release from custody during a hearing today at Perth Magistrates Court, but he was granted conditional bail.
Barrientos was granted bail with a series of conditions, including a ban on contacting his victim or posting on social media about the case.
He must also remain in Western Australia, report daily to police and put up a personal $100,000 (£52,000) cash surety.
