After his recent win at the 2024 Latin American Music Awards, Grammy-Award winning artiste Sean Paul said that his long awaited 22-city US tour, titled, 'Greatest', was a natural move. So far it has been a "good vibe" as most of his venues are sold out. Being his first extensive US tour in the past 10 years, the reggae/dancehall megastar said the decision came as he believes it was just the "right time".
"Nuff thing in life is timing and balance of that time. Sometimes you can force the issue to try to tour but if the States never ready, it wouldn't mek no sense. Suh mi jus' did want to do some fresh music, which I did last year and especially the Latin community really embraced it," Sean Paul told THE WEEKEND STAR .
"We got the American Music Award [for Best Collaborative Crossover of the Year] for that song [ Nina Bonita ] with [Colombian artiste] Feid which adds to the numbers, so we decided to run a tour." The tour kicked off on May 2. On the Miami leg, Sean Paul was greeted by the new reggae talent, YG Marley, son of the legendary Lauryn Hill and Rohan Marley.
The energy between these artistes set the precedent for nights of unforgettable music and celebration of the culture. The tour is set to culminate in Charlotte on June 16. Sean Paul said he mostly looks forward to the organic connection with the people.
"It's the gratification of actually seeing first-hand, connecting with your people who love your songs, rate and revere your artwork [and] pay to come see you, buy .
