The tour will be in support of their recently released LP, Blue Water Road, which received acclaim from critics.
It features singles “Everything” and “Up at Night” alongside Justin Bieber, as well as collaborations with Syd, Jessie Reyez and Thundercat.
While promoting the new album Kehlani called out a radio interview, during which they were asked “invasive” questions and their pronouns were “mocked”, reports Teen Vogue.
The singer made an appearance on the Atlanta-based radio morning show The Morning Hustle on 7 May and the co-host Headkrack seemed to make an exaggerated, joking acknowledgement of Kehlani’s she/they pronouns.
“Welcome to The Morning Hustle. They are here, and they is she, and she is with us, she goes by the name of Kehlani,” said Headkrack alongside a visibly uncomfortable Kehlani.
They were then asked by co-host Lore’l about their romantic “type” and if they would ever have sexual relations with fellow artist SZA and if they were sexually interested in Megan Thee Stallion.
After repeatedly stating that they do not have a type, host Lore’l inquired once more: “So no scissoring with SZA?” “No. We’re friends,” answered Kehlani.

Kehlani spoke out about the interview on their Instagram story, saying: “I was gonna remain quiet. Every other recent interview has been super bubbly, warm, informative, and open. From start to finish, this interview was cringey, a lot of mockery and invasive as f**k.”
“This is why your favorite artists always stop doing interviews or people don’t want to speak anymore. I’m only speaking to [a] select few folks anymore who really care about me deeply and have always been in my corner.”
