JET recently spoke with Tinashe about performing on the tour, how she feels about those Beyoncé comparisons when she hit the scene as a solo artist, navigating this fickle industry while still trying to maintain the right to choose what image of herself she wants in the zeitgeist, and more.

JET: When you first started out there were a lot of Beyoncé comparisons – is that scary? Is that good company to be in? Tinashe: It’s obviously a lot of pressure because she’s an amazing artist but I think you can only just take it as a compliment. I think she’s an incredible woman that I definitely look up to in a lot of ways. JET: Have you met her?
Tinashe: I haven’t met her, but I’ve been to her show like five times. I opened up for her but I didn’t meet her. We shared a stage. And I worked with all her people – her dancers were my dancers and her choreographers were my choreographers, her tour manager is my tour manager but we’ve never crossed paths. But it’s gonna happen!
I wouldn't consider joining Khaled on stage for a song as opening for her, but ok.
She should try to book the spot as an opening act for the second US leg tho.

Doesn't matter. Pretty sure you get what she means.
What a mess
