Little Simz has announced that her North American shows are being rescheduled as the cost of touring would leave her "in a huge deficit."

On 1 May Little Simz was supposed to kick off her North American tour in Portland, Oregon but this evening (19 April) the BRIT-winning artist shared a statement announcing that the US shows will have to be rescheduled.

Little Simz wrote, "Hey guys, due to unforeseen circumstances I’ve been left with no option but to reschedule my US tour. I take my live shows seriously and would only want to give you guys nothing but the best of me. Being an independent artist, I pay for everything encompassing my live performances out of my own pocket and touring the US for a month would leave me in a huge deficit."

"As much as this pains me to not see you at this time, I’m just not able to put myself through that mental stress," Little Simz continued. "It’s important for me to speak my truth about this and be honest. I appreciate the love and excitement you guys have for seeing me live. Rest assured I will be there soon, back bigger and better."

She concluded, "For now I’m creating and working on art that I’m so excited about. Music of course but other things too; all levelling to greater heights. A message to all artists and creatives, know your worth and stick to your guns. Love you all."
