Nicki Minaj Cancels Tour After Poor Ticket Sales
by EG
Nicki Minaj has proclaimed herself Queen and controversially declared herself to be superior to lots of important people, but that doesn't mean anyone actually wants to see her new tour. After a suprise appearance at the MTV Video Music Awards this week, you might think there would be a spike in ticket sales for her shows. Instead, the tour is being cancelled, to be possibly rescheduled at a later date. Read on for details.

Nicki Minaj has canceled her previously announced North American tour with Future. A statement from Live Nation notes that Minaj “has decided to reevaluate elements of production on the ‘NickiHndrxx Tour’” following her surprise performance Monday at the 2018 MTV Video Music Awards. The cancellation follows unverified reports of low ticket sales.
The jaunt was set to launch Sept. 21 in Baltimore — less than two months after the release of Minaj’s long-awaited fourth LP, “Queen.” The North American leg will now kick off in May 2019, though no dates have been announced as of this writing. Due to scheduling conflicts, Future will not participate.
The tour will now launch in February with a previously announced European run. Refunds for the canceled North American dates will be available at point of purchase, and Minaj will announce new on-sale dates soon.
