A few rappers could sell out stadiums if they strategically place the dates and locations. So less locations that are spread out more, and cut back on the dates. But is it worth sacrificing dollars for ego?

Bomani admitted early in that interview he used to be heavy into nyc hiphop then in college he bet a bunch of NY dudes he thought he could relate to through music and they told him to kick rocks and since then he’s been millitantly anti nyc hiphop
That's too corny to be true

For real?

Not in hip hop bruh... Jay aint selling 70,000 tickets in 2023, hell not even in 2003.

The 4:44 Arena tour in 2016 was struggling in a lot of cities.


"struggling in a lot of cities"

you mean the tour that grossed nearly 50mil and sold 430k tickets?

It did struggle in several cities. There were multiple concerts that got cancelled due to low ticket sales. Not to say it flopped, but if you can’t even maintain dates in an arena tour, in what world can you go on a stadium tour?

Could jay do a couple stadiums in choice cities (NY, LA, and maybe Miami) but a full blown arena tour. No way that would work with just Jay.

I saw Jayz and Beyoncé OTR 2 a few years ago. We sat front row the stadium was sold out cuz of them together. Could Jay have sold out alone? I don’t think so. People were more hyped when she came out and did her thing. Jay has gotten better over the years but as a solo performer selling out a stadium? NO. A stadium is huge.
