The Grand National Tour was undoubtedly one of the concerts that had a 2025 and a chokehold, largely because it came off of the heels of Not Like Us, the Super Bowl halftime show, and the release of GNX.

uh evidently 2025 year 2025 was a busy year for the compton mc this year has been considerably quiet in comparison although we haven't really received much of an update on a new album he has come through with a handful of features most recently he appeared on jenny aiko's song so good from her new album but yeah uh insane man 390.7 million earned from 2 million tickets sold across 47 shows in 2025 now imagine if he did more than 47 shows because i think 50 did like 103 cities or something like that.

And he didn't make anywhere near that.
