Drake has unexpectedly postponed the remaining dates of his ‘Anita Max Win Tour’ in Australia and New Zealand, leaving fans in limbo as organizers work to reschedule the shows.

The announcement came via a statement from tour organizers, confirming that four of the 16 sold-out shows have been put on hold indefinitely due to “scheduling conflicts.” While no further details were provided, the sudden change has sparked speculation, especially given the rapper’s ongoing feud with Kendrick Lamar and his legal battle with Universal Music over alleged industry interference.

The decision to postpone comes at a time when Drake is navigating more than just tour logistics. His legal action against Universal Music—stemming from claims that the label boosted streams for Lamar’s diss track ‘Not Like Us’—has dominated headlines in recent weeks. With the hip-hop world watching closely, some fans have questioned whether the “scheduling conflict” explanation is the full story.

According to the official statement, all purchased tickets will remain valid for the rescheduled dates, with refunds available for those who prefer. However, given the high demand for the tour, refunded tickets will be released for resale, meaning fans who opt for a refund may find it difficult to secure a spot again if they later change their minds.

Despite the disruption, the message from Drake’s team remains optimistic:

“Drake and the entire team have had an incredible time doing these shows and are excited to return soon. We look forward to sharing the rescheduled dates with you as soon as possible.”

For now, Australian and New Zealand fans will have to wait to see if and when the postponed shows will be back on the calendar.
