Nicki Minaj announced back in June that she would be heading out on the NickiHndrxx with Future in September. Now, plans for the 28-city North American tour dates have been cancelled. The announcement was made via Live Nation and Nicki made sure to clarify the fact that the North American dates have not been cancelled, they will resume in May 2019. The European leg of the tour will begin in February as scheduled.
The reasoning for the changes are simple. Nicki’s QUEEN album was originally slated to be released in June. But because the LP was pushed back to August, it makes sense the tour must pushed back accordingly for rehearsal time etc. Take a look at what Nicki had to say below.
