Normani released a statement, writing that the cancellation “truly disappoints me as I know it disappoints you,” adding that she’d been “working harder than I ever have in rehearsals for the last week to ensure that I give you the best possible performance.”
“Thank you to the BBMAs for being so understanding and patient. We all tried incredibly hard to work through these obstacles to figure out any and every possible way to make this work,” she continued.
“I love you all and Sam very much,” Normani wrote. “I’m praying that he’s able to take the time he needs. I’m with you.”

That same day, the 22-year-old singer hit the stage with Khalid to perform their collaboration “Love Lies” during the annual music and arts festival.
Normani is describing what it’s been like opening for Ariana Grande on her Sweetener Tour.
The former Fifth Harmony member told People that even though she has known the “break up with your girlfriend, i’m bored” singer for a “very long time,” they haven’t really had the chance to just “be normal, and really enjoy each other” because of their busy schedules.
“We wear face masks, wake up really late, have breakfast, that kind of jam … just typical girls!” Normani said about their friendship during their months on the road together. “I feel like she’s had an incredible year, especially going through as much as she has. The way that she’s handled things, not only as an artist, but as a woman — I think she’s the definition of resilience.”
“There are so many women around me, I’m really inspired,” she added about the dancers and the band, explaining that “it’s like a sleepover on wheels.”
