NEW ORLEANS — Rap superstar Nicki Minaj apologizes to her fans for canceling her tour show hours before it was scheduled to go on in the Smoothie King Center.
Minaj abruptly canceled her New Orleans show Monday following doctor's orders after she got the flu.
In a statement posted to social media, Minaj said:
Please accept my sincerest apologies for having to reschedule our date together.
You mean so much to me & I hate that things didn’t go as planned.
Within the next few days, I hope to update our schedule with a new date that I can give you 100% of myself & nothing less. You don’t deserve to pay for a tkt to see me up there rapping with the flu. Absolutely NOT.
Thank you for your patience. Thank you for your well wishes.
I love you. I adore you. I appreciate you. I look forward to seeing you very soon. It may have to be in MAY due to the NBA finals, but we won’t complete this tour w/o you.
As long as you’ll have me, my team & I will be there.
Wishing you guys blessings on blessings on blessings.
Love always.
Minaj has not yet officially set a rescheduled date for New Orleans. Her next scheduled tour date is Wednesday, March 20 at the State Farm Arena in Atlanta.
