UK rapper secretly cancels tour weeks after debut album release, leaving fans uninformed

A British rap musician unexpectedly called off her entire tour, leaving fans feeling both upset and puzzled.

This development arrives just several weeks after the artist launched her debut album, South LDN Lover Girl.

Ms. Banks is recognised for her lively blend of rap, hip-hop, and R&B music styles.

She was scheduled to perform a series of concerts next month as part of a tour named after her album.

Yet, without an explanation, all her upcoming concerts have been abruptly canceled.

The Ticketmaster site shows Ms. Banks' scheduled appearances in Birmingham, Manchester, and London as unavailable.

Each event listing now features a notice underneath, displaying "cancelled" in bold letters.

Ticket holders have received alerts via text message informing them of the cancellations.

One individual shared a snapshot of the message on X, stating: "DICE: Ms. Banks’ South LDN Lover Girl The Tour has been cancelled.

"A complete refund has been processed to the card initially used for the purchase and should reflect within 5-10 business days."

Accompanying the screenshot, the unhappy fan wrote: "What is happening? Oh my gosh???"

They tagged Ms. Banks in their post, seeking some clarity. The artist has yet to respond regarding the tour's discontinuation.

Before releasing her debut album, Ms. Banks focused on mixtapes and EPs.

Her first mixtape, entitled Once Upon A Grind, was unveiled in 2014 when she was just 20 years old.

Two years on, Ms. Banks, whose full name is Thyra Ebony Kigho Deshaun Oji, launched her inaugural EP, New Chapter.

In 2023, Ms. Banks took part in the opening performances for the Eurovision Song Contest held in Liverpool.

Following this, she signed a contract with Believe records. Her most streamed song on Spotify so far is a remix titled Gangsta.
