Tina Campbell has been getting slammed left and right lately. Ever since the Mary Mary singer revealed she supported Donald Trump’s presidential campaign, fans have been giving her the side-eye. Then after she explained her support of Trump, she put the nail in the political coffin when she admitted she voted for him. Of course, fans wasted no time dragging Tina yet again. But in addition to the social media drag session, it looks like fans are hitting Tina where it hurts – her pockets. According to Essence, the famed gospel singer is canceling her tour for a very disheartening reason.
Lack Of Interest?:
The It’s Still Personal tour was scheduled to kick off in November but apparently, Tina Campbell is pumping the breaks. On Tuesday, October 24, Tina took to Instagram with an announcement about the tour. Apparently, she’s canceling due to low ticket sales.

She shared a photo of herself along with a lengthy statement announcing the cancellation. However, she insists the recent cancellation is more of a “postponement” as she hopes to hit the road in the Spring of 2018. “I’d like to say thank you to all who have purchased tickets for the It’s Still Personal Tour,” she said in an Instagram post. “Our hope is that all who have attended, have been thoroughly blessed. We are grateful for those who were planning to attend but our overall ticket sales haven’t shown that we have the support that we need to continue the tour at this time.”
Tina added, “We’re convince that many more would love the opportunity to attend this praise-filled, faith filled, entertaining, worship experience, so we have decided to give ourselves time to reach all of those people and bring this amazing tour back in the spring of 2018.” *In other words, translation: What that statement probably means is the Mary Mary singers are gonna wait until 2018 to see if Tina’s ‘Trump train’ drama fizzles out and hopefully fans forget she ever decided to support him.* Hmmm…
When All Hell Broke Loose:
Tina Campbell’s tour cancellation follows heightened backlash over her public support of Donald Trump. Despite all of the controversial things he’s done, along with his not-so-subliminal disapproval of African Americans, Tina Campbell admitted she voted for him and she even revealed she prays for him. Of course, Tina’s Christian fanbase consists of people who love God and treat people with respect, but many still cannot fathom how she could support someone who has made his sentiments of minorities very clear. But despite all of that, Tina recently shared a different perspective: “This man is not our God, and God has given us instruction for this man, which is to pray for him,” she told Essence Now host Makho Ndlovu.
“So me saying I stand with him means I pray for him, even now. I disagree with almost every decision the man is making but I still pray for him because he took an oath to represent this country. And we can say, ‘He’s not my president.’ But he’s still the president of America and God gave us a responsibility to pray for him.”
Unfortunately for Mary Mary, most fans obviously don’t agree. Best of luck to Tina Campbell with that though.
