Remove metabox for custom taxonomy

Hi, I’ve added a custom taxonomy (‘artist’) to my post using register_taxonomy function in functions.php.

$labels = array(
    'name' => _x( 'Add an Artist', 'taxonomy general name' ),
    'singular_name' => _x( 'Artist', 'taxonomy singular name' ),
    'search_items' =>  __( 'Search Artists' ),
    'popular_items' => __( 'Popular Artists' ),
    'all_items' => __( 'All Artists' ),
    'parent_item' => null,
    'parent_item_colon' => null,
    'edit_item' => __( 'Edit Artist' ),
    'update_item' => __( 'Update Artist' ),
    'add_new_item' => __( 'Add New Artist' ),
    'new_item_name' => __( 'New Artist Name' ),
    'separate_items_with_commas' => __( 'Separate artists with commas' ),
    'add_or_remove_items' => __( 'Add or remove artists' ),
    'choose_from_most_used' => __( 'Choose from the most used artists' )
  ); 

  register_taxonomy('artist','post',array(
    'hierarchical' => false,
    'labels' => $labels,
	'public' => true,
	'show_tagcloud' => true,
    'show_ui' => true,
    'query_var' => 'artist',
    'rewrite' => array( 'slug' => 'artist' ),
  ));

However, I need to hide the custom taxonomy metabox from some of my new post screens. I’ve tried to use remove_meta_box( ‘artist’ , ‘post’ , ‘normal’ ); wrapped in an if statement, however, with or without the if statement the metabox remains.

function remove_artist_meta() {
	remove_meta_box( 'artist' , 'post' , 'normal' );
}
add_action( 'admin_menu' , 'remove_artist_meta' );

Does anyone know of the first parameter for remove_meta_box is correct as artist, or would it be something else??
