Sexyy Red is showing no signs of stopping; as the 23-year-old continues to make a name for herself and establish her own lane in rap, she’s garnered support from major artists across the industry – most notably, Drake. The boy has given the up-and-coming rapper a huge co-sign, by adding her to the rest of the shows on the “It’s All A Blur Tour”.

The rapper will serve as the opening act for the rest of the tour, hitting the stage before Drake and 21 Savage. Sexyy Red took to Twitter and Instagram to share the big news.

Her next show will be the tour’s second show in Inglewood, California, on Tuesday, August 15. The tour continues to sell out stadiums nationwide, and is still set to make stops throughout California and Texas, among other major West Coast and Southern cities. See the full lineup of remaining performances on Drake’s website.

Drake initially linked with Sexyy Red after his “It’s All A Blur” performance at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center. Both rappers shared the viral photo on their Instagrams. Drake’s caption read “Just met might my rightful wife”, but it was Sexyy Red’s that couldn’t be more fitting: “I’m yo favorite rapper favorite rapper.”
