Tory Lanez is billed as the official support, while London-based DJ Tiffany Calver will be on warm-up duty.
While his choice of locations has already drawn criticism on Twitter, with one person pointing out the lack of Scottish, Welsh or Northern Irish dates:
for a man who claimed a sudden british accent in more life and “fell in love with the UK” you’d think someone would tell him that 11 english dates and no scottish, welsh or northern irish dates doesn’t constitute a “UK” tour🥴
