Little Simz is making her latest musical trek to North America for the first time since 2019. On Monday (April 10), the British rapper, singer, and actress, legal name Simbiatu “Simbi” Abisola Abiola Ajikawo, announced that she’s hitting the United States for a 10-date tour.

In 2022, Ajikawo was scheduled to venture North America to support her fourth album Sometimes I Might Be Introvert, which was subsequently canceled due to financial concerns.

“Being an independent artist, I pay for everything encompassing my live performances out of my own pocket, and touring the US for a month would leave me in a huge deficit,” she wrote in a tour cancellation announcement at the time.

Kicking off in September, Aijkawo will begin her tour in Chicago, also visiting Atlanta, Portland, Los Angeles, Toronto, Montreal, and more before concluding in New York City on October 13th.

Last December, Ajikawo dropped her fifth full-length LP No Thank You, executive produced by Inflo.

General tickets for the No Thank You North American tour will be available on Thursday, April 13th at 10 a.m. local time via Ticketmaster. A Live Nation presale begins Tuesday, April 11th with access code VINYL.
