Saweetie and YG Taking Their Romance on The Road: STR8 to the Klub Tour Kicks Off This Fall
The hip hop community is abuzz with anticipation for the massive "STR8 to the Klub Tour" set to kick off this coming September, bringing together rising female rap superstar Saweetie and veteran hitmaker YG for a co-headlining trek across North America.
After fueling romance rumors for months with their PDA-filled outings and collaborations, the Billboard chart-topping emcees are ready to take their relationship on the road - with high stakes for both artists.
For 27-year-old Saweetie, born Diamonté Harper in Compton, this tour represents a critical step in her meteoric rise to stardom. After gaining buzz with her 2019 breakout single "Icy Grl", Saweetie has swiftly ascended the ranks of hip hop's elite, racking up hits like "Best Friend" with Doja Cat, "Tap In", and smashes on albums that have garnered billions of streams globally.
She's joined the likes of Nicki Minaj, Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion as one of rap's foremost femcee voices, been featured in ads for Rihanna's Fenty Beauty line, and collaborated with major acts like Katy Perry, Madonna and Justin Bieber.
Yet for all her success in just 3 years at the top, Saweetie has never embarked on a headlining tour - making this co-headline trek with boyfriend YG a landmark moment. And with YG's experience mounting electrifying tours since his 2009 debut, Saweetie is in capable hands as she readies for her first major headline run.
For 33-year-old YG, born Keenon Ray Jackson in Compton, the "STR8 to the Klub Tour" allows him to support and promote the woman he's currently romantically linked with, while getting to perform for his massive fanbase that's spent over a decade building.
YG already boasts 6 platinum singles, 2 platinum albums, a Grammy nomination, and countless hits under his belt - establishing him as one of rap's most consistent hitmakers and dynamic live performers.
Adding even more firepower, their frequent collaborator Tyga will open most tour dates - ensuring three back-to-back hours of hip hop heat each night from some of the genre's hottest names.
With YG and Saweetie already teaming up on tracks like "Money Mouf" with Tyga and "In My Face" with Mozzy, their obvious chemistry both in and out of the studio bodes very well for a nonstop barrage of energy and vibes throughout this 50+ date trek across North America.
The "STR8 to the Klub Tour" kicks off September 21st in Sacramento and continues hitting arenas through November, with tickets going on sale this Friday, July 21st.
