Badu released Mama’s Gun in November of 2000, and the album featured the hit “Bag Lady,” which earned her a Grammy Nomination. The LP also has “Didn’t Cha Now?” and “Cleva.” She’s celebrating that album following her previously announced “Abi & Alan Tour” featuring The Alchemist.

The Grammy-winning singer recently performed at the Essence Festival of Culture in New Orleans as well as a handful of summer shows. One of her most successful outings over the past few years was a show at Capital One Arena in Washington, D.C., in July of 2023. That concert grossed $1,120,260 off 12,048 tickets, according to Pollstar Boxoffice.
