Numerous performers, including Jennifer Lopez, Metro Boomin, and Future, reportedly had to postpone their tour dates because of low ticket sales. Similar rumors have been circulating lately about Sexxy Red's impending Sexy Red 4 President tour ticket sales being low.

The reportedly cancelled shows include August 22's show in Seattle Washington at WAMU Theater, along with shows in Portland and Oakland on August 23 and August 26, respectively.

Instagram pages like its_onsite and the jasmine brand informed the fans of the news. Its_onsite uploaded the news on their official page with a caption that read,

“Fans are raising eyebrows as #SexyyRed cancels multiple dates on her ‘4 President’ tour just days before the actual event, despite earlier denying rumors of low ticket sales.”

On the other hand, Instagram page, @thejasminebrand uploaded the same news and wrote,

“Fans have noticed that #SexyyRed quietly canceled multiple shows scheduled for the upcoming days.”

However, as per Hot New Hip Hop, it was not surprising that there weren't many tickets sold. The Art Of Dialogue reported on X at the beginning of July that only 37.11% of the 85,217 tickets were sold.

The rapper's tour cancellations had been widely reported before, but it was reportedly just a rumor. Additionally, Sexyy Red said in the first part of July that she was not receiving the equitable assistance that her endeavor deserved.

In a tweet on Monday, July 8, @ArtOfDialogue stated that "only 37.11%" of the tickets for her Sexyy Red 4 President show had been sold thus far and that the show was in danger of being canceled. Get It Sexyy singer swiftly discovered the post and refuted the assertion on X.

“My fans are buying tickets we’re doin just fine.. we not cancelling no tour dis cancelling sht all cap”.

Sexyy Red went on to say that bigger firms disseminated incorrect information as a result of her choice to collaborate with an independent promoter. Then, in another tweet, she wrote,

“Dis how Dey try to do u wen u go wit an independent promoter n the bigger companies try to sabotage u we not cancelling sht.”

She went on to say that the promotion company she chose to work with is owned by "Black people", which is why she thinks the “bigger companies” are purposefully trying to harm her.

She continued in another X post,

“I did my touring deal with a black promoter black owned company AG Entertainment and now Dey playin dirty paying pages spreading fake news to discourage my fans from buying tickets.”

Nevertheless, this time also, she didn't say anything about the cancelation of her tours on her official social media platforms at the time of writing this article.
