Tour announcement follows Summer Smash appearance
The tour announcement comes after the two shared the stage at the Lyrical Lemonade’s Summer Smash festival in Chicago.
The performance quickly generated buzz online and fuelled speculation that more collaborations between the two artists could be on the way.
Now fans will get the chance to see them together on a full tour run that includes Toronto.
The pair will perform at Rebel nightclub on August 17, the only Canadian stop on the tour.
North West has been releasing music over the past two years, and recently released her N0rth4evr EP this year.
The 13 year old is no stranger to stages and big audiences, having performed at high profile music festivals, and has even performed alongside her father at his shows.
Who is Molly Santana?
Molly Santana has quickly emerged as one of hip-hop’s rising names.
Sanatna has also been having a big year, having been recently featured on Drake’s Iceman album, on the track “Run To Atlanta” alongside Future.
Her growing profile has helped introduce her music to a wider audience ahead of the tour announcement.
When do tickets go on sale?

The Aug. 17 performance at Rebel is currently scheduled to be the only Canadian stop on the Kimokawaii tour.
The announcement comes amid growing interest in celebrity children carving out careers of their own. While North West first became known through her famous parents, her music releases, festival appearances and social media presence have increasingly put her in the spotlight independently.
