Fans have been left heartbroken after popular American music star Amala Ratna Zandile Dlamini, known professionally as Doja Cat, announced she’s dropped out of the 2021 iHeartRadio Jingle Ball Tour after testing positive for Covid-19.
The singer said on her verified Instagram account that several of her production staff members had also tested positive.
“I’m sad to share that I just tested positive as well and will no longer be able to perform on the rest of the iHeartRadio Jingle Ball Tour,” her statement read.
“While my spirits are down since I can’t be there to celebrate the holiday with my fans in Philly, DC, Atlanta and Miami, I’m doing ok and look forward to recovering and getting back out there as soon as I can!”
This is her second encounter with Covid. She stated that she initially became infected with the virus in July 2020.
Coldplay and Lil Nas X were recently forced to withdraw from the UK’s Jingle Bell Ball 2021 with Barclaycard after members of their squads tested positive.
