North West, 13, canceled her first headlining tour with Molly Santana just days before opening night, writing on Instagram Stories “I was really excited to go on tour with Molly Santana. Sadly it isn’t happening anymore, but I have something special for u guys.”
North, 13, was set to embark on tour alongside rapper Molly Santana for the Kimokawaii Tour, which would have kicked off on Aug. 5 in Dallas.
The two rappers and singers had been scheduled to head out on a 14-date North American trek together next month.
They had announced the run, dubbed ‘Molly x North Kimokawaii Tour’, on June 16.
The opening show at the House Of Blues Dallas on August 5 was recently marked as “cancelled” on Ticketmaster.
The tour’s official website also disappeared.
Ticketmaster also stated that the Toronto concert on August 17 had been axed.
Ticketing website AXS listed the pair’s show at The Novo in Los Angeles on August 27 as cancelled, with the venue’s website following suit.
North didn’t share additional insight into why the tour has been called off, she teased alongside a black heart emoji, “But I have something special for u guys see ya soon.”
“To everyone who bought tickets to the tour, I sincerely apologize. I know a lot of you have taken time out of your busy schedules and spent your hard earned money planning to be there,” Molly wrote on Instagram Stories.
“Nothing makes me more happy than the opportunity to share more amazing memories with you all and I hope to see you soon,” the “Ran to Atlanta” rapper added.
“You are all so greatly appreciated and please know that I never take your time or support lightly. I love y’all so much and I promise I will make this one up to you.”
Molly also teased new music coming:
“Black punk otw & be right back.”
In the viral moment that set this off,
North and Molly announced the ‘Molly x North Kimokawaii Tour’ on June 16
following back-to-back stage appearances together.
The pair had previously performed together at Rolling Loud festival May 9—also North’s first festival appearance—and again at Lyrical Lemonade’s Summer Smash June 12.
The tour took its name from a Japanese phrase translating to “gross-cute.”
The tour would have marked North West’s first headlining tour alongside rapper Molly Santana
and was supposed to arrive roughly three months after North released her debut EP.
North released her debut EP, N0rth4evr, in May, after previously collaborating with FKA Twigs in 2025.
Molly marks the next in a growing list of collaborators she’s already partnered with in her career, others being Lil Novi (son of Lil Wayne), FKA Twigs and her uncle Travis Scott.
Neither artist provided a public reason for the abrupt cancellation.
Tour dates for both Dallas and the Aug. 17 show in Toronto are marked as “canceled” on Ticketmaster, and the tour’s official website has been taken down.
North West’s tour caused a stir online, with some individuals voicing concern about Kardashian and Ye’s oldest daughter touring at 13.
Ticketmaster indicated refunds would be processed within 14 to 21 days to the original payment method.
Molly, best known for her “Iceman” collaboration with Drake and Future, has released two projects with a third, “Black Punk,” scheduled for later in 2026.
