A few weeks ago new broke that “Rebellious Soul” songstress K. Michelle would be hitting the road with Harlem rapper Azealia Banks for a tour together. Well, now it looks like the show may be over before it has even begun. Banks took to her Twitter tweeting, “Hey Kunts! I just got an email from @kmichelle team and she is unfortunately unavailable this fall so she is cancelling our tour.” This is very disappointing news for Banks because this would have been her very first U.S. tour.
Before fans had the chance to stir up a cup of tea and speculate whether ticket sales were low or that there was bad blood between Kay and Azealia, K. Michelle took to her Instagram to set the record straight with a lengthy posting reading, “Hey Rebels! To say I am crushed is an understatement. I try my best to push myself over the limit and if you don’t listen to your body it will make you listen. While currently filming numerous television shows, readying my businesses and working on my new album, I simply cannot overexert myself anymore than I already am.
So it is with a broken heart, I have to postpone the tour with me and @AzealiaBanks at this time. Before the negativity and assumptions from naysayers and media outlets begins, I’d like for everyone to know the truth.
First, there is absolutely no drama between me and Azealia. We have a mutual respect for each other as women and artists. I can’t wait to get in the studio with her and for you all to hear what she’s been working on. Secondly, it wasn’t low ticket sales. Due to such an overwhelming response with this tour there have been conversations about adding a second show in various cities.
Above all, my fans mean the world to me and the last thing that I want to do is disappoint. I want to thank all of you for having my back and supporting me throughout the good and the bad. I can’t wait for all of you to see what’s in store and hear this new music! All tickets that have already been purchased will be refunded and I’ll see you guys at the top next year! New album. New tour. ❤️ -K. Michelle”
Azealia weighed in assuring her fans that her and her team would continue moving forward with an alternative plan, and that she would be announcing new tour dates soon.
