Nearly 20 years after her debut album, Goodies, Ciara will be part of Grammy-winning rapper Missy Elliot’s first-ever headlining tour. The duo is well-acquainted with Elliot being part of Ciara’s ‘1,2 Step’ in 2oo4 and Ciara collaborating with Elliot for her 2005 hit ‘Lose Control’.

Grammy-winning rapper Missy Elliot announced about the “Out of This World — The Missy Elliott Experience,” on Instagram. She posted a teaser video, with an exciting caption.“🚨🚨🚨ATTENTION IT’S TIME “OUT OF THIS WORLD” TOUR across NORTH AMERICA!!!! With my family @ciara @bustarhymes & @timbaland This Spaceship will be Landing NEAR YOU🫵🏾 RUN 4 COVER!👽🛸🚀🔥” Elliot’s first-ever headline tour comes 27 years after the release of her debut album Supa Dupa Fly.

The two will go on a 24-city tour starting on July 4 with rappers Busta Rhymes and Timbaland joining them. “Out of This World” tour is poised to embark from Rogers Arena, Vancouver, British Columbia, on the Fourth of July and will culminate at the Allstate Arena, Rosemont, Illinois, on August 22.

Ciara shared the post on her IG story, revealing tour dates. The fervor begins with a presale on Tuesday, April 9th, building anticipation as the tickets will be available for sale from April 12. The tour will see Ciara and others travel to Seattle, Oakland, Los Angeles, Houston, Brooklyn, Atlanta, Newark, Toronto, and other cities.

Apart from working together nearly two decades ago, Elliot and Ciara recently teamed up for the remix version of Ciara’s 2018 single “Level Up.” In fact, Ciara and Elliot’s friendship goes way back. In 2012, while working on her One Woman Army album Ciara said that she shares her ideas with Elliot and respects her a lot.

Ciara had said, “I remember looking up at her one time like, ‘My friend is Missy Elliott,’ and I’m thinking to myself ‘that’s crazy,’ just because of how much I respect her and what she’s contributed to music. Being around people like her is always inspiring to me.” Also last year, rap when icon Elliot received the Global Impact Award at the second annual Black Music Collective event Ciara posted a heartfelt message for her friend.

In an Instagram post, she wrote, “It was truly an honor to pay tribute to my friend, big sister, icon, and legend @MissyMisdemeanorElliott. I will never take moments like this for granted!” During the event, she also honored Elliot and sang the co-written “1, 2 Step” at the event.

The duo will now be traveling across North America after their big announcement, and even Ciara’s husband, Russell Wilson shared his excitement for the upcoming tour.

Russell Wilson took to social media to extend his congratulations. The Steelers’ QB shared the official announcement post by Missy Elliott on his Instagram story and wrote,“So proud of you @Ciara Arena tour time,” showing his admiration for the singer’s achievements.

This is not the first time the QB has expressed his love for the pop singer’s work. Earlier, during his appearance on the I AM ATHLETE podcast, the veteran QB shared his top songs from Ciara, mentioning hits like ‘Ride‘, ‘Body Party‘, and ‘1,2 Step‘.

He even mentioned that he especially enjoyed ‘Body Party’ stating, “there’s a moment in that song [when] I saw her smile, and I was like, ‘That’s the one for me.’ I’ve seen her smile in that video, and I was like, ‘She’s the one for me.”

It seems the NFL veteran is going strong with the pop singer as he gets ready for the upcoming season with the Steelers.
