Following the news of the cancellation, K. Michelle took to Instagram to elaborate on why she chose to cancel the anticipated joint tour, Pitchfork reports. Michelle blamed her busy schedule and her tendency to overwork herself. She explained that she had been wearing herself down with all of her previous engagements and commitments and was not able to fully dedicate herself to the tour as she originally intended.
"I try my best to push myself over the limit and if you don't listen to your body it will make you listen. While currently filming numerous television shows, readying my businesses and working on my new album, I simply cannot overexert myself anymore than I already am," Michelle wrote on Instagram.
Michelle also made sure to shut down any potential rumors about her and Banks "beefing" over the tour cancellation.
"Before the negativity and assumptions from naysayers and media outlets begins, I'd like for everyone to know the truth. First, there is absolutely no drama between me and Azealia. We have a mutual respect for each other as women and artists," she wrote.
Michelle added that the cancellation was not due to rumored low ticket sales, and she has every intention of working on new music with Banks in the future.
And though Banks and Michelle will no longer be touring together, they have since revealed to their fans that they plan to tour separately in the future.
