Sexyy Red Shuts Down Low Ticket Sales Rumors: ‘We Not Canceling No Tour’
Sexyy Red is pushing back against rumors of low ticket sales for her upcoming Sexyy Red 4 President tour.
The “Pound Town” rapper took to X on Monday (July 8) to address reports about poor ticket sales. “My fans are buying tickets we’re doin just fine. We not cancelling no tour,” she wrote in response to a post suggesting her tour was in jeopardy.
Touring Data reported on July 3 that 37.11% of tickets for the 24-date trek had been sold, with 85,217 still available. However, the St. Louis native refuted the idea that these figures indicate trouble.
“Dis how Dey try to do u wen u go wit an independent promoter n the bigger companies try to sabotage u,” she explained in another post, referencing her partnership with AG Entertainment. “We not cancelling sht.”
The 26-year-old artist concluded by blaming certain social media pages for spreading misinformation: “I did my touring deal with a black promoter black owned company AG Entertainment and now Dey playin dirty paying pages spreading fake news to discourage my fans from buying tickets.”
The rapper has made an impact on the Billboard Hot 100 with several hit singles of late. Sexyy Red’s latest single “Get It Sexyy” marked her highest solo entry, debuting at No. 23 and peaking at No. 20 on the Hot 100, while also charting on the Global 200.
Her breakout track “Pound Town” reached No. 66. Following this, “SkeeYee” peaked at No. 62. Additionally, her collaboration with Nicki Minaj on the remix of “Pound Town 2” achieved considerable success, also peaking at No. 66 and gaining heavy rotation on radio and streaming platforms.
Sexyy Red’s tour is slated to begin on August 15 in Miami and conclude on Oct. 10 in Los Angeles. You can find tickets here.
