Sexyy Red is a rising star in the American hip-hop scene, born and raised in St. Louis, Missouri.
She is known for her explicit lyrics, catchy hooks, and fierce personality.
Despite her recent success with hits like Hood Hottest Princess and her latest mixtape, "In Sexxy We Trust," her Sexyy Red 4 President seems to be struggling to sell tickets.
Sexyy 4 President Tour
After the Hood Hottest Princess Tour in 2023, the “Sexyy Red 4 President Tour” is the second tour to be headlined by the rapper.
The arena tour is set to kick off in Seattle on August 22, 2024. It will end in Nashville on October 1, with 26 concerts being done across venues in North America, including Portland, San Diego, Oklahoma City, Milwaukee, Pittsburgh, Brooklyn, Philadelphia, Orlando, and New Orleans.
She would be joined by opening acts, including Hunxho, Loe Shimmy, and BlakeIANA, with a supposed surprise guest for certain cities.
Low Ticket Sales Might Affect Sexyy Red’s Concert
According to reports from Touring Data, only 37.11% of the 85,217 available tickets for the North American leg have been sold for 20 out of her 24 shows, totalling around 31,624 tickets.
This translates to a potential average audience of 6,800 per show, raising concerns about the tour's financial feasibility.

Fans are shocked and divided, with some trolling the artist online while others speculate about the causes of low sales.
Possible factors might include tight budgets, a lack of hype for the project, or a decline in Sexy Red's popularity.
Sexyy Red’s Response, “We're Not Canceling.”
In spite of ongoing news about the possible cancellation of her tour, Sexy Red recently assured her fans on social media that she will not cancel her upcoming Sexy Red 4 President Tour.
On July 9, she took to X and responded to a tweet by The Art of Dialogue.
"My fans are buying tickets, we're doin just fine. We are not canceling no tour dis canceling sht all cap" she said.
She explained further that her tour deal was with AG Entertainment, and "bigger companies" were trying to "sabotage" her.
The rapper wrote, "I did my touring deal with a black promoter owned company AG Entertainment and now Dey playin dirty paying pages to spread fake news to discourage my fans from buying tickets."
She added, "Dis how they try to do u when u go with an independent promoter n the bigger companies try to sabotage u we not canceling sht.”
As Sexyy Red's concert ticket sales struggle to gain momentum, the rapper's team is pulling out all the stops to revitalize interest.
With the first show on August 22, Sexyy Red still has time to turn things around.
Also, with a surprise guest set to appear at selected shows, fans are hoping that the tour will turn around.
