Little Simz was supposed to kick off her North American tour next month in Portland, Oregon, however yesterday (April 19), the rapper announced that she would have to postpone the trek, citing financial concerns. “Due to unforeseen circumstances I’ve been left with no option but to reschedule my US tour,” Simz wrote in a statement posted on her Twitter and Instagram channels. “I take my live shows seriously and would only want to give you guys nothing but the best of me. Being an independent artist, I pay for everything encompassing my live performances out of my own pocket and touring the U.S. for a month would leave me in a huge deficit.” Find her full statement below.
Simz’s tour was scheduled in support of her latest record Sometimes I Might Be Introvert, which landed last fall. She was slated to kick off her tour in Portland on May 1, stopping in Seattle, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Chicago, and more before concluding in New York at the end of the month.
Earlier this year, Simz performed a medley of “Introvert” and “Woman” at the 2022 BRIT Awards, where she was nominated in four categories: Album of the Year (for Sometimes I Might Be Introvert), Artist of the Year, Best New Artist, and Best Hip Hop/Grime/Rap Act. She took home the honor for Best New Artist.
