Is Jay-Z set to TOUR Africa? No way!! Billboard editor explains the mix-up!

I know. I wish it were true as well...sigh!

Earlier today NUMEROUS outlets reported that Jay-Z was set to tour Africa as part of a large tour. One of my favorite sites theYBF stated:

As soon as Beyonce wraps the US leg of her Mrs. Carter Show world tour in September, Jay is kicking off his seven-week world tour on 4 different continents.

From September 9th in Poland to October 28th in Melburne, Jay will be traveling the world performing concerts in conjunction with spreading awareness about the global water crisis.

Unfortunately this isn't true at all. See most new sites were attributing this news to an OLD Billboard article from 2006. Billboard Features Editor Brad Wete clarified over twitter. "Pretty sure this is attributed to a Billboard story from like '06. Wish it was new, though. Long story short, when we relaunched our site in Jan. things got misplaced. That's why there no's date, author and the page overall is just jacked"

1. @dreamhampton @queenlaven @okayafrica ...date, author and the Ppage is overall just plain jacked.

   @okayafrica @dreamhampton @S_C_ Pretty sure this is attributed to a Billboard story from, like, '06. Wish it was new, though.

Welp...there you have it folks! But let's keep hope alive, maybe HOV will tour next year right?
