Nicki Minaj Postpones North American Tour Dates
Nicki Minaj fans in America will have to wait a bit longer to hear their favorite musician since the famous rap star decided to postpone the whole North American leg of the NICKIHNDRXXX tour for May.
The joint Nicki Minaj and Future tour was scheduled to kick off on 21 September in Baltimore, Maryland, but it was pushed to May 2019 in order to refine production elements.
The European and Australian dates remained completely the same and all tickets can be found here.
Minaj apologized to her fans on social media and explained that the release of her latest album was pushed back for two months and that she simply doesn’t have time to rehearse and she wants to bring them quality above all.
Had her album came out in June as planned she would have had three months to rehearse and prepare for the tour but she was writing and recording until last week and it’s impossible to prep completely in just four weeks.
Future’s schedule is also full and we are not yet sure whether he will co-headline the entire tour.
“Future and I will now start the European leg of our tour first, so those dates will stay exactly the same and the U.S. leg of the tour will now start in May,” Nicky explained.
“With Future’s schedule, I may have to take another co-headliner or I may just do it like I did The Pinkprint Tour and it wouldn’t be a co-headline. I probably will just have three or four opening acts.”
At the end of her explanation, Nicki Minaj promised to fans the wait will be worth it. After all, the recently released album Queen broke the record of being number one in 86 countries. Ticket for all NICKIHNDRXXX performances can be found here.
However, there are some rumors that the tour was plagued by poor ticket sales.
“Nicki’s tour could be the most disappointing ticket sales of the year for any artist. These are big arenas with up to 20,000 capacities. Sales for opening night in Baltimore is 2,000 tickets. LA is 3,400, New Orleans 1,000, Denver 1,300, and Chicago 3,900. Even her hometown Brooklyn is only 5,050.”, reports claim.
Nicki Minaj fiercely fired back at these allegations saying that anyone with a brain understands the tour can’t be put together in a month and that she gives her fans only quality.
