Dancehall star Skillibeng is taking his global momentum on the road, announcing a 20-city North American tour with Ghanaian-American songstress Moliy just weeks after landing his second U.S. Gold certification and dropping the cross-continental single Ballerina with Afrobeats heavyweight Rema. The “Badman She Love Tour” kicks off in New York on May 24 and runs through June 28, signalling a major live push as dancehall continues to expand its global footprint.
The month-long trek will hit key cities including Montreal, Boston, Chicago, Atlanta and Dallas before heading to the West Coast with stops in Los Angeles, San Diego and Seattle, wrapping in Calgary. Named after Skillibeng’s fan-favourite track and amplified by his breakout moment on the Shake It To The Max (Remix) alongside Shenseea, the tour arrives on the back of a record that dominated playlists and charts globally. Moliy, who also featured on the smash remix, shared her excitement online, teasing fans with the official tour announcement.
The move follows a major milestone for Skillibeng, who recently secured his second U.S. Gold certification from the Recording Industry Association of America for the remix, which surpassed 500,000 units in sales and streaming equivalents and racked up hundreds of millions of streams worldwide. His latest release Ballerina further cements his crossover ambitions, blending dancehall energy with Afrobeats flair in a strategic link-up with Rema — a collaboration crafted for global reach.
Promoted by Duke Concept, the team behind major tours for acts like Burna Boy and Uncle Waffles, the run positions Skillibeng at the forefront of the dancehall–Afrobeats crossover wave in 2026. With momentum building and international demand rising, the “Badman She Love Tour” could mark another defining chapter in his evolution from Caribbean hitmaker to global touring force.
