In December 2023, the Auckland, New Zealand concert was marred by controversy thanks to security issues with the venue Spark Arena and their security contractor Platform 4 who removed a couple who had paid for their seats after 2 men took those seats and refused to move.[5] So far, Spark Arena have refused to provide any compensation to the couple and are stonewalling any media attempts for information.
Billboard reported that The Final Lap Tour grossed $103.6 million, with over 1.05 million tickets sold across 83 shows in North America, Europe, Oceania and Asia, becoming just the third rap tour ever to cross $100 million.[6]
