Tour officials said, “We are working diligently to find a new date, so please hold on to your tickets and we will notify you soon.”
NEW ORLEANS – Nicki Minaj’s ‘Pink Friday 2 World Tour’ was canceled “due to doctors’ orders” just hours before the sold-out show was set to begin, according to tour officials.
“Since Nikki is still ill, our team does not want to risk making others sick, and Nikki will not be able to give Nola the show she deserves. We are working diligently to find a new date, so Please retain your tickets, and we will inform you soon,” tour officials said.
The doors to the Smoothie King Center were scheduled to open at 7 p.m. Monday.
Minaj last performed at Rolling Loud California on Friday. On Saturday, he tweeted that he woke up in the morning feeling like he had COVID-19.
Minaj tweeted, “Barbz please send me healing energy. I woke up feeling like I had Corona. Thank God I didn’t. You guys are everything. I appreciate you. I Love you very much.”
This is the second concert to be canceled at the Smoothie King Center in less than a week. Burna Boy’s March 14 show was canceled a day earlier.
