“Hi everybody, I am so excited to announce that I am finally going to SA and meeting my fans in Rwanda. I am working with Global Citizen and Move Afrika,” she said.

Dubbed the "Queen of Pop-Rap", the Grammy Award-winning singer also expressed her that the tour will do more than just entertain; it will also generate job opportunities. 

This aspect is particularly significant, given the current unemployment rate in the country.
