She can't take the Formation stage to Africa, it's too costly. She needs to take a simpler stage and a paycut. She really needs to go there. They worship her in Africa and if acts like Coldplay can sell out stadiums there, she sure can do way more dates than them.

It says that she was invited to do a concert in Ivory Coast but didn't perform because of the money and the people organizing couldn't spend that much money (4 millions). Now many African fans are mad, and wonder why she never went there especially after an album like Lemonade where she uses African references and doubt how genuine she was about BLM. Like it only matters in the US, things like that. Saying that MJ performed several times there for less than that
It's important to know your value, sure, but I think she should go, because of Lemonade, because of songs like GW, or EOT. It's great that she's inspired by Africa but the good sis need to stop paying it dust. One date in west Africa and one date in South Africa would be great, they love her so much
