North West is set to make her Toronto debut as a headlining artist this summer.

The 12-year-old musician has announced the Molly x North Kimokawaii Tour, a co-headlining North American run with rapper Molly Santana. The tour begins in early August and includes a stop at Toronto's Rebel on August 17, marking North West's only currently announced Canadian date. The tour arrives just months after the release of N0rth4evr, North West's self-produced debut EP.

She has also produced for other artists in the last year. Last summer, she was spotted backstage at Osheaga in Montréal, where she spent time with BKTHERULA during the festival.

Joining her on the tour is Molly Santana, whose profile has continued to rise through a string of independent releases and a recent appearance on Drake's track Ran to Atlanta. The pair also performed at Chicago's Summer Smash festival this past weekend before unveiling the tour dates.

Beyond Toronto, the tour will visit cities including Dallas, Houston, Atlanta, New York, Chicago, and Los Angeles throughout August.

What Awaits Sean Combs After He’s Released From Prison

When Cassie Ventura filed her 2023 lawsuit accusing Sean Combs of sex trafficking and assault, Rolling Stone’s senior entertainment investigative reporter Cheyenne Roundtree began tracing the music mogul’s rise to power and allegations that had long circulated only in whispered warnings. Her reporting appeared in Rolling Stone’s May 2024 feature Bad Boy for Life: Sean Combs’ History of Violence, and in the HBO documentary The Fall of Diddy, for which she received a consulting producer credit. She later covered Combs’s criminal trial and partial conviction from start to finish. Now, in her debut book, Bad Boy for Life: The Rise and Fall of Sean Combs, due out Sept. 29 via Henry Holt, Roundtree offers a sweeping account of the label executive’s flashy ascent and staggering fall from grace.
