Teyana Taylor Drops Off Jeremih Tour, Calling Him “Lazy, Sneaky, Jealous, Conniving, Selfish”
Teyana Taylor released her long-awaited, Kanye-produced album K.T.S.E. back in June, and since then she’s been on the road with R&B singer Jeremih. The tour launched in Tampa on 8/3 and has been traveling along the East Coast. They’re slated to perform in Toronto tomorrow, but it looks like Taylor won’t be making that show because she’s fed up with Jeremih.
In a series of tweets, Taylor said that she has been mistreated on the Later That Night tour, and accused Jeremih of being “lazy, sneaky, jealous, conniving, selfish.” She also called him a “DIVA” in all caps. When a fan responded to Taylor’s tweet with, “Why when people only coming to see you anyway,” Taylor replied: “My point exactly.”
I’ve been extremely mistreated on this tour so on that note i will NO longer continue to stay on the #LaterThatNightTour because if I do ima end up knocking this nigga out. I’m sorry to all who has already purchased tickets to see me I will make sure everyone gets refunded! ❤️

This isn’t the first time Jeremih has encountered tour drama. Back in 2016, he was removed from the Summer’s Over tour after a series of incidents that supposedly stemmed from resentment over the fact that he was opening for PARTYNEXTDOOR.
UPDATE: Jeremih has responded.
UPDATE #2: Taylor has responded to Jeremih’s response with a video of her performing to a sea of people during the Late Last Night tour.
UPDATE #3: Taylor tweeted an apology to fans who purchased tickets and said she plans to put on free concerts for those who couldn’t receive refunds.
I truly apologize to everyone who has purchased tickets to see & support me. However, I will NOT tolerate disrespect on ANY level especially as a woman. All money ain’t good money. So w/ that being said, I will put on a free concert for every city that can’t receive a refund ❤️

UPDATE #4: Teyana Taylor has announced that the Later That Night Tour has been rebranded as Keep That Same Energy tour, and that she’ll be honoring all the remaining dates on the tour. The only difference is, of course, that Jeremih won’t be in attendance, effectively removing him from the joint tour. DaniLeigh will be the special guest.
UPDATE #5: Here’s Jeremih’s statement.
While I am extremely pissed about the disrespectful comments & name calling that has been made, I hold no resentment or vengeance in my heart. I am more disappointed for OUR fans.. nonetheless I must move forward but I wish Teyana & Dani nothing but the best. ✌🏽❤️
