The announcement of the tour comes shortly after the release of J.I.D'sfourth studio album "God Does Like Ugly". The fifteen-track record features contributions from some of the music scene's most notable artists, including Clipse, Ciara, Don Toliver, Ty Dolla $ign, Vince Staples, Westside Gunn, 6lack, Jessie Reyez, Earthgang, Mereba and Baby Kia. Music critics and fans alike have praised "God Does Like Ugly" as one of the best rap albums of the year and J.I.D as "one of the most reliable greats in rap" (Wonderland).

Born and raised in East Atlanta, Grammy-nominated J.I.D grew up listening to his parents' classic funk/soul LP collection and broke through in 2015 with his EP "DiCaprio". On this EP, he collaborated with the hip-hop duo EARTHGANG, with whom he had already toured in 2014. Here he was discovered by J. Cole and promptly signed to Dreamville/Interscope Records. Shortly after signing, J.I.D made his major label debut with the highly acclaimed album "The Never Story" (2017), which was quickly followed by the critically acclaimed album "DiCaprio 2" (2018). The second project attracted a lot of attention in the press and earned the rapper a place in XXL's Freshmen Class of the Year. J.I.D solidified his status as a promising rap talent with standout performances on Dreamville's platinum-certified, Billboard #1 compilation "Revenge of the Dreamers III" (2019), which received Grammy nominations in the categories of "Best Rap Album" and "Best Rap Performance". His growing popularity led to a collaboration with Imagine Dragons on "Enemy" for the soundtrack to Netflix's "Arcane", which achieved almost two billion streams, was certified four times RIAA platinum and received nominations at the MTV Music Awards, the AMAs and the iHeart Awards.

In 2022, J.I.D released the album "The Forever Story", which was highly praised by critics, described as a "classic" by Clash and featured in numerous annual charts. The LP reached number 12 on the Billboard Hot 200 and was certified gold by the RIAA. "Surround Sound" featuring 21 Savage and Baby Tate became a viral hit with the TikTok challenge "Ceiling", re-entered the Billboard Hot 100, topped the Billboard Viral 50 and the TikTok charts, and was eventually certified triple platinum by the RIAA. His sophisticated rapping and songwriting has also caught the attention of many other fellow musicians, including Doja Cat, Offset, Dua Lipa, Imagine Dragons, Freddie Gibbs and many more.

Following the success of his last project, J.I.D announced the release of his fourth studio album "God Does Like Ugly" (2025) earlier this year with the single "WRK". A preluxe edition of the album was subsequently released with four tracks, including "Animals" featuring Eminem, who impressed with his impressive lyrics. The EP delighted J.I.D's passionate fan base, who were completely impressed by the full album released in August. The latest long-player features an impressive array of guest contributions, including Clipse, Ciara, Ty Dolla $ign, Vince Staples, Jessie Reyez, Westside Gunna and several more, creating a rich and diverse soundscape. "God Does Like Ugly" instantly became a timeless entry in the year's hip-hop releases and is yet another success in the career of J.I.D - a highly anticipated live performer who has sold out shows worldwide and performed at major festivals such as Coachella, Lollapalooza as well as Bonnaroo.

Following the release of his new album, he has now announced the God Does Like World Tours, his biggest solo shows across four continents. The deft lyrics and rapid flow have earned him a loyal fan base, while the passion for his art is ambitious and leaves room for him to become one of the biggest rappers of the coming years.
