Musicin 19 weeksTHE KEHLANI WORLD TOUR: South Africa
Grand Arena at GrandWest
Kehlani will open your eyes, open your mind, and open your heart. As candid as she is about life, lust, and love, her music exists in an elevated space---soaring beyond even the best high---while remaining deeply human and accessible with every listen. To date, she has earned over 20 gold and platinum RIAA certifications, amassed more than 5 billion global streams, and stands as a 2x GRAMMY庐 Award-winning, 7x GRAMMY庐 Award-nominated artist, taking home Best R&B Performance and Best R&B Song for her global hit "Folded." Kehlani dominated the cultural conversation with her fourth full-length album CRASH, earning a GRAMMY庐 nomination for Best Progressive R&B Album, while its standout single "After Hours" garnered a nomination for Best R&B Performance and surpassed 279 million streams. A commanding live performer, she has sold out iconic venues worldwide, including Brooklyn's Barclays Center, London's The O2 Arena, San Francisco's Chase Center, and Los Angeles' Kia Forum. Following her critically acclaimed While We Wait 2 mixtape, Kehlani ushered in a bold new era with "Folded," a breakout anthem that has become one of the defining R&B records of the decade. The track has surpassed 800 million global streams, peaked at #6 on the Billboard Hot 100, spent 43 weeks on the chart, and reached #22 on the Global 200. It dominated radio, hitting #1 across Urban (for 10 weeks), Rhythmic, and R&B formats, generating over 1.45 billion U.S. radio audience impressions and earning her first solo #1 on the Rhythmic Airplay Chart. "Folded" also delivered major award recognition, including two GRAMMY庐 wins (Best R&B Song and Best R&B Performance), an iHeartRadio Music Award for R&B Song of the Year---where she made her debut award show performance---NAACP Image Award nominations, and three American Music Award nominations, including Song of the Year. The track's cultural reach expanded further with the "Folded Homage Pack," featuring reinterpretations from R&B icons Toni Braxton, Brandy, JoJo, Mario, Ne-Yo, and Tank. On April 24, 2026, Kehlani released her highly anticipated self-titled fifth studio album, KEHLANI, arriving on her birthday as her most personal and fully realized project to date. Blending signature emotional transparency with genre-bending production, the album features an all-star lineup including Big Sean, Brandy, Cardi B, Clipse, Leon Thomas, Lil Jon, Lil Wayne, Missy Elliott, T-Pain, and Usher. Anchored by the massive success of "Folded" and its follow-up singles, the project marks a defining moment in her career and further cements her status as one of contemporary R&B's most influential voices.
