Drake & 21 Savage Add 12 Dates To “It’s All A Blur” Tour

by

Drake and 21 Savage announced tour dates for this summer but getting tickets for their concerts appear to be just as difficult as Beyoncé’s Renaissance tour, if not more. In the past few days, pre-sale for tickets went up which subsequently left fans devastated at the prices. While concerts sold out quickly, many were also shocked to find the $1K price point attached to nosebleed seats. Needless to say, it will cost a pretty penny to see The Boy in the flesh this summer but if you’re willing to shell out the dough, they’ve added new tour dates to meet the demand.

The It’s All A Blur tour officially added 12 more dates to select cities as concerts began to sell out before tickets became available to the general public. Dallas, DC, Detroit, Houston, Las Vegas, Miami, Montreal, Philly, San Francisco, Seattle, and Vancouver will have second tour dates during Drake’s run. Meanwhile, Drake and 21 added a third date for Brooklyn, Manhattan, and Los Angeles. Hopefully, this allows more fans to attend the show without having to drain their bank accounts. 

Drake & 21 Savage Bring “Her Loss” On The Road

Drake and 21 Savage began teasing a joint tour earlier this year, though the Canadian rapper confirmed that he was hitting the road in late 2022. Despite releasing three albums within the span of 14 months, he hasn’t been able to tour for any of the projects. However, he spent the majority of the past two years joining many of his rap peers on stage as a special guest. All in all, the It’s All A Blur tour seems like it will become one of the highest-grossing tours of the year.

Before the tour begins at New Orleans’ Smoothie King Center on June 16th, Drake will co-headline a set with J Cole at Dreamville Festival. The North Caroline rapper shared the official line-up for the festival earlier this month, revealing that he and Drizzy will close the festival out on April 2nd.

Drake and 21 Savage are preparing to perform (at least) 29 North American dates for their It’s All A Blur Tour, as announced by Drake via Instagram on Monday, March 13, after months of teasing his intent to tour in 2023. The stage had been set in November with the release of Drake and 21’s collaborative Her Loss, which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and housed the top-10 Hot 100 hit “Spin Bout U.”

Cash App customers got the first crack at tickets during Wednesday’s (March 15) presale, giving the everyone else their first look at the It’s All A Blur stage setup and seat map. Guys, Drake is giving us a 360-degree rotating stage. (As a byproduct, “Spin Bout U” live is likely to go crazy.)

Wednesday’s Cash App presale also resulted in fans lamenting ticket prices reportedly running as high as $1,000.

The next presale is scheduled for Thursday, March 16, and is exclusive to those with an access code provided by Sprite, the official tour sponsor. The general public sale is scheduled for Friday, March 17, beginning at noon local time.

All ticket information is available here.

Drake And 21 Savage Tour Ticket Prices Are Reportedly As High As $1,000 And Fans Are Dismayed

Tour ticket prices have become one of the hottest discussions online in the past month, as Ticketmaster responded to accusations of unfair business practices by rolling out new policies and highly anticipated tours like Beyoncé’s Renaissance Tour have put those policies to the test.

A new hot commodity tour was announced yesterday, and it looks like fans will continue to be unhappy about pricing. Drake and 21 Savage, who teamed up on last year’s album, Her Loss, announced the North American dates of their It’s All A Blur Tour kicking off in June. However, upon seeing the prices — which some fans are reporting to be as high as $1,000 — fans are balancing their “wants and needs” to decide if this particular “rich flex” is worth the cost.

Of course, most of those tweeting seem to be reporting much more reasonable prices — around $400 or so — but that’s still a stretch if you consider the 20-something target demo and… well, everything going on in the world right now.

Of course, Ticketmaster’s dynamic pricing system changes the prices of tickets based on demand, so it makes sense that one of the biggest superstars on the planet — who hasn’t toured since 2018, by the way — would be one of the most demanded tickets on the market. When the general sale opens up, things could get better, since there will be more tickets available — or they could get a lot worse since everyone who missed out on the presale will be even more determined to get their hands on them.

A look Back At Nicki Minaj’s Record Of #1 Songs

by

Nicki Minaj can claim many titles: hip-hop chameleon, stalwart businesswoman, powerhouse rapper, pouty sex kitten, versatile songstress and ambidextrous wordsmith to name just a few. Her trajectory across the many music charts has been colorful, meteoric and entertaining, to say the least, with “Red Ruby Da Sleeze (Acapella)”, her latest, recently reaching #1 song on iTunes.

Nicki Minaj Made History With Her Song ‘Blick Blick’

Looking back through her musicology, however, her 2022 milestone must be acknowledged when her song “Blick Blick” topped the iTunes chart, making her the rapper with the most No. 1 songs in the history of US iTunes, a title Nicki Minaj seized by elbowing Drake aside. The candy-striped video featured her in her many wings as she dueted with Coi Leray, proving that she can more than hold her own in a male-dominated genre. It is worth noting that this song peaked at number one within hours of its release.

Thus far, Nicki Minaj has had 16 #1 hits on iTunes, from “Hot Girl Summer” to “Anaconda” to “Move Ya Hips”, proving her status as the ultimate GOAT in the art of Hip-Hop domination. However, it was “Super Freaky Girl” that debuted at the top of the Billboard charts on August 22, 2022, marking her third No. 1 overall and her first as an unaccompanied artist. It was also a score as it made her only the second hip-hop female artist to debut at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 since Lauryn Hill in 1998. At the time, Billboard had also announced that the song garnered 4.6 million radio airplay audience impressions, and sold 89,000 digital downloads in its first week. After thanking her fans – whom she affectionately calls the Barbz – she shared an Instagram post that commented on the historical significance of her win.

The song was her first release in 3 years, and it titillated fans by sampling Rick James’ 1981 “Super Freak”. Lyric wise, Nicki Minaj immediately treated fans to her style of self-affirmations – all sass, all glam, no apologies – as she trotted through the video like Malibu Barbie with a bit of southern charm, rapping, “I got a princess face, a killer body, samurai mind”.

The Rapper Has Done So Many Collaborations

In 2020, Nicki Minaj collaborated with Dojo Cat in the number-one hit song, “Say So.” A huge fan of Minaj, Dojo Cat professed in an interview that the collaboration happened thanks to several years of pushing for it, and doing everything possible to help the stars align.

Another 2020 chart topper was “TROLLZ” with Tekashi 6ix9ine. The video is a rainbow-kissed celebration that marked 6ix9ine homecoming from jail, and both he and Nicki Minaj taunt haters with the line, “I know you don’t like me, you wanna fight me/You don’t want no problems at your party, don’t invite me”.

Going back to her treasure chest of No. 1’s on iTunes Charts, the list is long and spectacular, with a host of collaborations that remind listeners why Nicki Minaj has staying power where other artists have faded after mere moments sunbathing in the limelight. Among her favorites are: “Hey Mama”, a David Guetta headliner that also featured Bebe Rexha (though with a delayed credit) & Afrojack, “Make me Proud”, which she had done with Drake, And “Anaconda” one of her earlier iTunes No. 1’s from 2014.

Drake Fans Are Outraged Over Insane Ticket Prices For The “It’s All A Blur” Tour

by

Drake is looking to everyone’s dollar for tickets for the It’s All A Blur tour with 21 Savage. The Toronto rapper formally announced the dates for his tour, which kicks off in June, in support of his last three albums: Certified Lover Boy, Honestly, Nevermind, and November’s Her Loss with 21 Savage. However, just when fans shelled out top-dollar to secure tickets to Beyoncé tickets, they’re now going into a mode of desperation to ensure that they can see The Boy live in the flesh this summer.

Though Drake tickets for the general public go on sale this Friday, CashApp cardholders had first dibs on securing their admission to the show. However, it looks like folks will be spending an arm and a leg to enter the show. Tickets are apparently going for $1K, which some felt was as outrageous as the price for Chris Brown’s infamous meet-and-greets last year. Still, people are willing to do whatever to secure spots at the concert, which will undoubtedly be a massive spectacle.

Drake & 21 Savage Gear Up For The “It’s All A Blur” Tour

Drake and 21 Savage confirmed they were hitting the road together during the back-to-back concerts at Harlem’s Apollo Theater. Though neither provided much information after hinting at a tour, the information leaked online confirming the title It’s All A Blur. Drake announced the tour with a nostalgic video that captured his rise from his come-up in Toronto to becoming a global selling icon. And, as the tour poster suggests, the tour will likely be commemorative of his tenure in hip-hop.

The tour will kick off in New Orleans on June 16th before hitting cities like Nashville, Houston, Dallas, Miami, and then two nights in 21’s hometown of Atlanta. From there, they’ll do another back-to-back evening in Chicago before going through the East Coast to cities like Boston and New York City. So far, Drake hasn’t confirmed a date for Toronto, though it seems likely that he’s waiting to announce a date for OVO Fest. However, it seems like no matter which show you plan to attend, you’ll likely be spending an extravagant amount on tickets. Is $1,000 worth it? Let us know in the comments below. ​​
