Fans are flooding Monaleo with well-wishes and prayers after the rapper revealed why she canceled upcoming shows. She kicked off her tour in February and was expected to perform in cities across the U.S. through March 29. However, on Tuesday (March 3), she announced cancellations due to emergency surgery.
Monaleo first announced the cancellation of her tour shows on X (formerly Twitter). In a statement, she revealed that Memphis and New Orleans won’t be seeing her on March 3rd and 4th. She plans to issue full refunds while dates are rescheduled.
Her next show after those was scheduled for March 6 in Houston, Texas, but with her recovery after emergency surgery, she’s taking it day by day.
“I have been working really hard—25 shows in and I give 110% for every single one,” Leo wrote. “As for the rest of the tour, it’s honestly going to be a day-by-day process. I’m listening to my doctors and taking it one step at a time. My main priority is getting better. We’ll communicate any changes as soon as possible.”

After her initial statement, the rapper shared a detailed health update on X. She started with an apology before admitting that she’s “upset” and “did not expect” the situation. Monaleo revealed that on Monday, she began feeling a sharp pain in her lower abdomen, and after taking pain meds, the pain got worse. So, she went to the emergency room, where doctors found an inflamed cyst “the size of a softball.”
“I went to the ER and could hardly make it through the ultrasound without throwing up . Worst pain ever fr. I had an inflamed cyst the size of a softball that had twisted and cut off blood flow and caused bleeding in my abdomen. Had to have emergency surgery and unfortunately lost an ovary and fallopian tube in the process,” Monaleo wrote on X.
On Tuesday, she was still hospitalized and recovering in a Memphis hospital. Again, she apologized to anyone inconvenienced by the health emergency and acknowledged that fans spent time traveling and purchasing looks for her tour. Additionally, she reassured her fans that her team is working on the refund process.
“None of that is lost on me and I appreciate all the love and support from the bottom of my heart . We ARE currently sorting through the refund process and looking at rescheduling dates as promised . I’m not sure how long this healing process will take . I do want to say this though : listen to your body when things are off . As a person who hates ER’s and never wants to go this could’ve been a lot worse . Love yall lots . Wait up for me the Pimpcess willll be back and better!!!”
In additional tweets, Monaleo clarified that she shared the health update to “be transparent” with her true supporters. In a second tweet, she again reminded her fans to stay in tune with their bodies.
“Context matters! Just wanted y’all to understand iI wouldn’t abruptly cancel tour shows if it wasn’t severe. also I truly care about y’all and know y’all care about my wellbeing. Nothing to hide life happens,” she tweeted.
Also taking this as an opportunity to tell yall to again , listen to your body!!!!!!! if something feels off IT IS!!!!!
