Rapsody has ended speculation about her cancelled tour with Joey Badass and Ab-Soul with a straight-to-the-point message.
The Dark Aura Tour was scheduled to kick off its 25-city run on October 16, but less than two weeks before the tour began it was abruptly cancelled, causing fans to speculate that it was because of low ticket sales. Others alleged that Ab-Soul had relapsed, pointing to his disappointing freestyle on Mafiathon 3.
While Rapsody didn't give an exact reason for the cancellation, she hushed the rumors about ticket sales on Thursday (October 2). "Guys. Stop being simple. There are a number of reasons tours get cancelled," she wrote on X. "Tickets sales was not a reason here. Relax. with love! ♥️"
Despite the cancellation, Rapsody confirmed that she, Ab-Soul and Joey Badass will come together for one performance in Brooklyn next month.
"Joey. Soulo. Rap. Nov 19th. Brooklyn. ♥️ See u there," she wrote.
Neither Joey nor Ab-Soul have addressed the tour cancellation, but after his Mafiathon 3 appearance, Ab posted on his Instagram Story that he "choked."
Meanwhile, Joey Badass and J.I.D. sat down for a new interview to discuss how they felt about Joey's back-and-forth with TDE's Ray Vaughn and the other rappers from the West Coast earlier this year.
"He said, 'Aye bruh, get them n***as,'" joked Badass about what J.I.D. told him. Joey also gave his perspective on what went down. "They got me fucked up," he said. "I’m about to Joey n***as. They got the wrong one. Let’s go. Let’s get to it."
J.I.D. added that the beef wasn’t serious. "It was real slap boxing shit because nobody really hated each other," he explained, before adding that he’s more of a writer than a rapper so he wouldn’t have been embroiled in a beef like that.
