After much speculation, Nicki Minaj has confirmed that she is indeed delaying the Stateside leg of her ‘NICKIHNDRXX’ TOUR.‘
Together with an official statement issued by the promoter, the rapper took to social media to offer more personal insight into what the reason for the postponement is.
Full story below…
A statement received by That Grape Juice read:
“Following her unforgettable VMA performance, Nicki Minaj has decided to reevaluate elements of production on the NickiHndrxx Tour. The outing will now kick off in Europe this coming February as planned. Nicki has decided to contribute more time to rehearsal ahead of the tour’s launch to make certain her fans get the absolute best quality show that they deserve.”
It was also confirmed that Future will now NOT be on the US leg of the trek:
Due to scheduling conflicts Future will not be on the North American run. Nicki Minaj will be announcing new North American dates to kick off in May 2019. Refunds for the previously scheduled North American dates will be available at point of purchase, with new Nicki Minaj on-sale details announced soon.
What that means for the title of the US trek remains to be seen (HNDRXX is his alias). But, Onika took to social media to provide additional context:

Nicki is desperately trying to save face! Please. Those tickets just wasn’t the bizness. Try again Nicki. You are becoming a laughing stock at this point,
We understand baby girl. Take whatever time you need. The Barbz and your haters will still be here waiting for you. The album is literally the best to come out this year, you have nothing to prove.
Girl you don’t even believe that! ????
Nah, it‘s not. It’s ok, a decent album with good songs and some that weren’t that good. And the tour, she just needs time to sell those tickets cause we all can see that it did not sell. It’s online. On ticketmaster. People just did not care to see her live. I wouldn’t either, I listen to some of her music but I would never go and pay to see her big ass and weird facial impressions live.
Im starting to feel bad for Nicki… She needs guidance in certain areas. The album is dope but ppl arent even listening to it bc of all this mess happening… Its gonna take a alot for her to bounce back. She seems really lost and unhappy… Beefing with everyone is why shes at this point. Nicki is so bothered and im sorry but the Barbz are a delusional group of folk…
So what about the tour bundles? Are they going to be part of the refund and will they be redacted from chart numbers? Lol
Caleb!!! ????
You mean all 5K of them
chile!!!! now thats shade kiiiiiiiiii!
No I’m being dead serious! Lol I’m really curious.
omg!
Dead ???????
LOW TICKETS SALES. FUTURE ROLLED OUT FROM THIS HOT MESS OF A TOUR. ………. NIK, YOU HAD YOUR MOMENT. THE PUBLIC IS OVER YOU………….. ITS A CARDI WORLD — SHE’S RELATEABLE, FUN, RAPS LIKE A “FEMALE” NOT ALL HARSH AND MEAN GRILL. GIRL……YA CAREER IN DANGER………
The funny thing is, Nicki makes so much of Cardi being an ex-stripper. But in the meantime, and the VMAs proved that, Cardi has evolved and showed some class while Nicki ran around naked showing everyone her tremendous ass that looks like it is going to explode anytime soon.
You call what Cardi did at the VMAs class? Lol your poor clueless generation hasn’t got a clue lol ?.
She must really think we’re stupid lol
This is From Page Six:
A Live Nation source told us, “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, Chicago 3,900. Even her hometown Brooklyn is only 5,050.”
An industry insider said, “Nicki has gone off the rails. She can’t take it that she sold less records than Cardi B (who’s stealing her thunder big time) in her first week; she can’t take it that Travis beat her to No. 1. Her ticket sales for her tour are in the toilet, and it’s making her even more crazy.”
Chile…. ????
Yeah, because page six is always accurate and truthful in their journalistic reporting. ?
girl it’s truth they’re a reliable source been here for years with accurate information
This whole era is a flip flop ? Nicki sir somewhere nobody checking for you, it’s Cardi’s time.
Sit*
And nicki you too old to be dressing and acting the you been acting
Wow she really has the most loyal fans (Sarcasm)
How do you announce a tour months in advance, and not have production and rehearsals at least lined up? She is trying to save face. You can easily go on Ticketmasters website and see why the tour was actually “postponed”. It wasn’t selling!

I’m a Nicki fan but I’m pissed I’m so tired of these artist canceling and postponing shows it has happened to me every single time I order concert tickets artists should be prepared before they sell tickets to a show now the fans have to deal with flights travel and hotels booked because you didn’t meet the deadline smh it’s very unprofessional
she should have pick a smaller venue maybe the house of blues or something I’m being honest
?
She should have done amphitheaters and festivals. Like I said yesterday, who is advising her? Nicki makes some of the dumbest business decisions ever.
Chile this clown was caught by the TMZ cameras declaring she is the new Harriet Tubman and for them to leave her alone. She has truly lost her mind! https://www.instagram.com/p/BmwOI39h8dc/?utm_source=ig_share_sheet&igshid=d63kkayycpl7
Nicki none of your fans wanted to see fcking future, they wanted to see you alone and special guess, not no doubleheader with fcking future. this is all her fault such a mess of a rollout, love her she will get it together.
Chile don’t blame it on Future for low ticket sales. When Drake and Future did a coheadlining tour together a couple years ago, they had no problem selling tickets. Nice try though. Go stream and or buy Queen! ????
Well then why couldn’t Future sell tickets for this tour?
Nicki Minaj (YMCMB/Republic) 82-87k, 15-17k

Corni bum (Atlantic)
36-39k, 3-4k lmfaooooo ? ?? ?? ?
As of July 6, 2018, Invasion of Privacy is the best-performing female album of 2018 and the third overall in the United States.[83]
Nicki is QUEEN! She’s 4 albums in DEEP and still delivering great music! SO happy for her!
We get it your fans didn’t but purchase your album enough & also they aren’t going to purchase tickets to your failing concert journey!!✌??
