“He say ‘ITS ONLY US’ I say IT’S ONLY UP’ from here!,” she wrote. 

The multi-talented entertainer went on thanking Lil Baby for enlisting her to manage numerous roles on the tour including musical direction, choreography, production, visual content, stage presence and even wardrobe. 

“you def in good hands with one hell of a village & I can’t wait for the world to see how much fun we have with this s***!,” she said.

Also on Monday, fans noticed on Ticketmaster.com that canceled show stops included Phoenix, Salt Lake City, Denver, Pittsburgh and others. The Atlanta rapper provided no explanation for the cancellations but users on social media speculated low ticket sales were to blame.
