I wouldn't go see her either but be assured her motive is singular-profit.
She's not coming to NOLA because it isn't in the best interest of the tour according to the organizers. They don't care about content or sentiment, only maximizing profit*.
For anyone to think she controls the tour dates and locations, that is not reality. She's in it for the money, she's crassly using Katrina to sell, not express. She might maintain that Katrina is a metaphor (artistic expression) or singular example for a cause she supports but her use of NOLA is to sell.
*not calling her out for her capitalism, that is simply a fact

Mario Woods - thug gang member who had stabbed a guy earlier and was threatening the cops with a knife
Michael Brown - robbed a convenience store, assaulted a clerk, attacked a police officer.
Both championed by the BLM movement. Rather than used as examples to the community about why parents should raise their children better and the dangers of thug lives and gangs and under-education and the problems facing the youth in those neighborhoods, these thug fricks are idolized and perceived as martyrs. They re-enforce the horrible decisions of these poor misguided youth.
It's sickening.
Well, no one implied that they were splitting the atom...

They one they should have supported, Tamir Rice
Tamir Rice - a young man who thought it was ok to point a replica gun at people in public with no way to tell it was a fake gun. a kid who tried to pull the gun out of his pants in front of police.
Another horrible example of the glorification of the thug life. A horrible sickening situation for all involved, and should have been used as a teaching moment and a further example of why these dumb thugs shouldnt be idolized. Because when you idolize people like Brown, kids see that and emulate it.
