Its at least the beginning of the "Cancel" movement.
Canceling= I don't like it, so NOBODY can consume it.

Boycotting a band isn’t cancel culture.
when country radio stations refuse to play their music, it is absolutely cancel culture
its the exact same as venues not allowing certain comics or speakers to perform or YT demonetizing certain channels

Universities setting aside "safe spaces" in the early 2010s.

I remember first hearing about “social justice warriors” (back when they used that term non-ironically) and I thought they were a bunch of internet concern-trolls. Then I realized they were actually being serious and then I knew it was all down hill from there.

Stations refused to play them because Country fans didn't want to hear them.
The corps kept trying to push it onto the stations, but people complained.

So it's not nearly the same

Conservatives like to blame liberals but the 1st example I can think of were The Dixie Chicks in the early 2000's
Metric frickton of historical examples, but those were less of a populist groundswell than it was your power brokers blackballing people. I think the Dixie Chicks is the first example I can think of that truly fits the more modern mental image people have of "cancelling", particularly that of a bunch of average people deciding not to engage with someone because of a social or political stance/statement/action they took.

cool so it fits your own definition of cancel culture unless, of course, you think 100% of country fans called stations and complained
otherwise it fits this definition perfectly

I’m convinced this iteration started in early 2007 when Don Imus referred to the players on Rutgers’s womens basketball team as “nappy-headed hoes.”

There is nothing new about it.
The reasons peope get “cancelled” or “blackballed” or ostracized just chance between generations.

If corps just tried to push it onto the stations, why were there DJs on those stations fired for playing Dixie Chicks?
If country fans just didn't want to hear the music, why did their tour bus driver quit on them?
Why did Merle Haggard say "It was like a verbal witch-hunt and lynching"? Did Merle, who didn't even know the Dixie Chicks, just happen to randomly think their declining sales were akin to a lynching?

Mao's Cultural Revolution had all the hallmarks of the cancel culture. Its worth remembering how many of these people started out as ideologues and campus Marxists, and took those lessons into the world, and polluted the marginal jobs they took with them, as they prepared to brainwash a couple of generations of followers.

If you can find the first claim of "politically incorrect," that would be it. That was the beginning.
