DJ Yella explained why NWA didn't go on a reunion tour after the success of their 2015 biographical film, despite overwhelming demand. Following the movie's release, there was immense interest from fans worldwide, creating a perfect opportunity for a tour. The anticipation was palpable, shown by their reunion at Coachella 2016 where 93,000 attendees witnessed the historic performance. DJ Yella shared that while the performance felt good, it didn't quite recapture the original group's essence. The logistics of arranging a tour with NWA members was a challenging task, as it required aligning schedules and agreements among all parties, including potential guest artists like Eminem and Snoop Dogg. DJ Yella noted that Dr. Dre's financial success and other priorities might have influenced the decision, as he no longer needs to tour for income. This sentiment is echoed by Ice Cube's continued performances and Dr. Dre's reluctance to commit to live shows, focusing instead on high-profile appearances like the Super Bowl.
