Kehlani made her grand return to Toronto last night (Aug. 16). Nearly two years after the R&B singer’s last show in the city was cancelled just hours before she was due to perform, she pulled up to RBC Amphitheatre and didn’t mince words.

“I need to explain myself,” she told the crowd. “I know y’all was waiting on this...I got stuck at y’all’s border for like 12 hours last time, and that’s why my show was cancelled.”
