This tour was a shining example of Missy’s incredible influence as a powerhouse in the music world. As a big name in hip-hop and R&B, she brought her energy to arenas all over North America this summer. Kicking off on July 4, the 24-city tour featured rap legends Busta Rhymes and Timbaland. They rocked Las Vegas on Saturday (July 13) then Denver, Houston, and Washington, before wrapping up in Rosemont, Ill., on Aug. 22. For Ciara, being part of this tour was a long-time dream finally coming true.

Ciara and Missy have teamed up on several tracks over the years. The iconic rapper jumped on Ciara’s second single, “1, 2 Step,” and their 2009 track “Work.” Meanwhile, Ciara and Fatman Scoop brought their energy to Missy’s 2005 hit “Lose Control.” Missy shared that this tour had been in the works for a long time, with CiCi talking about it for years. “Ciara had been asking me and asking me,” Missy said, and now, Mrs. Wilson’s wish is finally granted. And really, how could Russell Wilson not be thrilled when his wife’s manifestations are coming true?
