Summary
- Kid Cudi removed M.I.A. from tour due to offensive remarks.

Kid Cudi announced M.I.A.'s removal from his ongoing Rebel Ragers Tour on Monday, May 4, 2026. He stated that offensive remarks made by M.I.A. upset his fanbase, leading to the decision. Cudi had previously cautioned M.I.A.'s team about content at his shows.
M.I.A. had reportedly spoken about being a "brown Republican voter" and claimed "illegal" status due to visa issues for her team. The tour, which began April 28, 2026, in Phoenix, features Big Boi and A-Trak as openers.
Additionally, Cudi confirmed the cancellation of the May 5, 2026, show in Birmingham, Alabama, due to low ticket sales. He reassured fans that the remainder of the 33-date North American tour continues as scheduled and has been his best-selling to date.
