Chief Keef Postpones His Summer Tour Hours Before It Was Supposed To Begin

Chief Keef has delayed his A Lil Tour trek due to a “medical emergency,” announcing the postponement on the day of the tour’s first show.

On Tuesday (July 16), the Chicago rapper was scheduled to perform at Boston’s MGM Music Hall at Fenway. But hours beforehand, Live Nation issued a statement from Keef announcing that not only that show, but the whole 17-date tour would be pushed back.

The statement read: “To my fans, I’m so sorry to announce this, but due to a medical emergency, I’ve been ordered to stay home to recover, so I have to postpone the tour. Those who bought tickets can opt for a refund or keep it for a future date. I intend to be back on the road soon. Thank you, I love y’all.”

On Wednesday (July 17), the “Faneto” rapper followed up by posting a similar message on his Instagram Story.

“[F]or health reasons I’m postponing the tour until later this year,” it read. “Be on the road real soon!”

Keef’s A Lil Tour was announced in May, on the heels of his long-awaited album Almighty So 2.

The 16-track project that features guest appearances from, among others, G Herbo, Lil Gnar, Tierra Whack, Quavo, and Sexyy Red.

In addition, comedian Michael Blackson, who appeared on Keef’s 2013 project Bang Part 2, shows up on the new album as well.

Sexyy Red’s verse, on the song “Grape Trees,” should come as no surprise, as she and Keef have been frequent collaborators of late.

They first joined forces in late 2023 for Sexyy’s “Ghetto Princess” and a remix of her track “Bow Bow Bow (F My Baby Dad).” That was followed by “Damn Shorty,” a song from Keef’s Dirty Nachos mixtape with  Mike WiLL Made-It.

In a March interview with Billboard News, the Chicago legend spoke about the rising Midwest MC from backstage at Rolling Loud LA.

Asked by interviewer Tetris Kelly what he believed was the reason, “people go so crazy for Sexyy Red,” Keef’s response was simple: “She just … you could tell she really just come from where we come from.”

Elsewhere in the interview, the “Love Sosa” rapper reflected on why he works so well with the “SkeeYee” rapper.

He explained: “Shit. I just know she fuck with me real heavy. I fuck with her too. Saying she wants to come through and I said “hell fucking yeah.”
