Ghanaian-American singer Moliy has postponed her highly anticipated Baddies EU/UK Tour, which was scheduled to run across multiple cities in Europe and the United Kingdom throughout October 2026. The artist cited the need to step away from the stage and focus on her personal and mental wellbeing before returning to perform.
In a statement shared with fans, Moliy explained that she is taking time to reach a better mental place so she can deliver the strongest possible performances. All tickets purchased for the postponed shows will be refunded in full through the original points of sale. No rescheduled dates have been announced.
The tour was set to promote her 2026 mixtape BADDIES <3 MOLIY>(also styled as BADDIES LOVE MOLIY), a 12-track project released via Gamma that blends Afrobeats, dancehall, futuristic pop, reggaeton, and electronic elements. The mixtape features an international roster of collaborators including South African star Tyla, Jamaican artists Skillibeng and Shenseea, Dominican artist Yailin La Más Viral, Ghanaian rapper Sarkodie, UK-Ghanaian rapper Br3nya, Nigerian artist Mavo, French-Congolese singer Theodora, producer Silent Addy, the bees & honey collective, and Moliy’s sister Mellissa.
Moliy, born Moliy Ama Montgomery on October 4, 2001, in Accra, Ghana, rose to global prominence through a combination of distinctive vocals, genre-blending production, and viral moments. She first gained wider attention with her contribution to Amaarae’s “Sad Girlz Luv Money,” which, in a remix featuring Kali Uchis, charted on the Billboard Hot 100. Her own breakthrough came with the 2024 single “Shake It to the Max (FLY),” produced with Silent Addy.
The track exploded on TikTok, topped Afrobeats charts, and spawned a remix with Skillibeng and Shenseea that surpassed one billion streams, earned gold certification in the United States, and collected awards including Dancehall Song of the Year at the 2026 Caribbean Music Awards.
By 2025 and into 2026, Moliy had become Spotify’s most-streamed Ghanaian artist, earned nominations at the American Music Awards, MOBOs, and iHeartRadio Music Awards, and made history as the first Ghanaian artist to perform at the BET Awards.
She completed a 20-city North American tour with Skillibeng earlier in 2026 before turning her attention to her first major headline run in Europe and the UK.
The Baddies tour was expected to showcase both new material from the mixtape and established hits, bringing the high-energy, waist-whining club energy that defines much of her recent work to mid-sized venues across the continent. Confirmed or listed stops included dates in cities such as Paris, Brussels, Berlin, Cologne, Birmingham, and London, among others.
Promoters and ticketing platforms had listed the run as a Live Nation or associated presentation, generating significant anticipation among fans of Afropop, dancehall, and global pop fusion.
In her announcement, Moliy thanked supporters who had already bought tickets and expressed regret for the change in plans. She emphasized transparency, stating that prioritizing her mental health would allow her to return and give audiences the full experience they deserve.
She closed on an upbeat note, encouraging fans to “get those waists ready” for future shows where they would once again “be whining all night.”
The decision arrives at a moment of significant career momentum. Following the North American run and the release of BADDIES <3 MOLIY>, industry observers viewed the European headline dates as an important next step in expanding her live footprint beyond collaborative tours and festival appearances. Postponing a tour of this scale is never taken lightly, particularly for an artist whose catalog is built for energetic live settings.
Yet Moliy’s public framing of the choice as a temporary pause rather than a cancellation has been received by many as a mature and responsible move.
Mental health conversations have become more common in the music industry in recent years, with several high-profile artists choosing to step back from touring or promotional cycles to protect their wellbeing. Moliy’s statement aligns with that broader trend while remaining consistent with her public persona of openness and self-awareness.
Public Reaction
Fans and commentators on platforms including X have largely responded with messages of support, urging the singer to take the time she needs.
At 24 years old, Moliy stands as one of the most visible Ghanaian artists of her generation on the global stage. Her music draws on the dual influences of her upbringing between Accra and Orlando, Florida, mixing highlife and African rhythms with American R&B, pop, and Caribbean dancehall.
That hybrid identity has helped her connect with diaspora audiences and listeners discovering Afrobeats and Afro-fusion through streaming and social media.
For now, European and UK audiences will have to wait for new dates. Ticket holders are advised to seek refunds through their original purchase channels. Moliy has given no firm timeline for a return to the road, only the assurance that she intends to come back stronger and ready to perform at the standard her growing fanbase expects.
The postponement does not appear to affect her recorded output or other projects. The BADDIES <3 MOLIY>mixtape remains available on major streaming platforms, continuing to introduce new listeners to her club-ready sound and collaborative approach.
As the artist focuses on personal recovery, the industry will watch for updates on rescheduled live appearances and any new music that may emerge from this period of rest.
Moliy’s choice highlights a simple but important principle: sustainable careers require artists to protect their capacity to create and perform. By stepping back now, she positions herself to deliver more memorable shows in the future-ones where the energy matches the high-octane spirit of tracks like “Shake It to the Max” and the rest of the Baddies project. Fans, meanwhile, are left with the music, the promise of future dates, and a clear invitation to keep those waists ready.
