Jidenna Exits Age Of Pleasure Tour “After Much Prayer”
- Oops!Something went wrong.Please try again later.
Jidenna has announced he will no longer support Janelle Monáe on the Age Of Pleasure tour. The singer shared the news on Wednesday (Sept. 13) in a statement on social media. In his memo, the 38-year-old detailed the personal decision.
“After much prayer and deliberation, I’ve decided to discontinue my performances on the Age Of Pleasure tour,” began the lengthy upload.
“I’ve experienced a tremendous amount of losses this year and I am tired. My spirit is heavy. My heart is constantly beating with anxiety. Under the circumstances, I’ve been unable to deliver the A1 show that I imagined for you.”
His statement continued, “I’m usually not one to break promises, but I cannot betray what my spirit is telling me. Please forgive me as I work through my sh*t… I am making this call, so I can find some peace of mind.”
The “Classic Man” performer closed out “I’m not on the ledge. I’m not on drugs. I’m not bankrupt. I’m just human.”
The Age Of Pleasure tour kicked off last month in Seattle. The 26-run show has stops in Toronto, New York City, Atlanta, St. Louis, Philadelphia, and Dallas before wrapping in Inglewood, Calif. at the YouTube Theater on October 18.
While Jidenna is no longer able to open for the Electric Lady performer, rap duo Flyana Boss are still alongside Nana Kwabena with Dreamier Isioma on select dates. View other remaining tour dates below.
