Nicki Minaj appeared on social media Tuesday evening to apologize to fans for cancelling her New Orleans tour stop.
In an Instagram Story shared with her 229 million followers, she wrote, ‘New Orleans, please accept my dearest apologies for having to reschedule our date together.’
The 41-year-old rapper — who brought out Tyga during a recent performance — was forced to reschedule Monday’s show just hours before it was set to begin due to illness.
She added in her apology, which was a reposted screengrab from an X post, ‘You mean so much to me & I hate that things didn’t go as planned.’
The New York native then assured fans, ‘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.’

She finished out the note by writing, ‘Love always,’ along with a pink bow emoji.

A message shared to Smoothie King Center’s Instagram account gave a brief explanation.
‘Due to doctor’s orders, Nicki Minaj must reschedule her NOLA show tonight. As Nicki is still sick, our team does not want to run the risk of getting others sick, and Nicki would not be able to give NOLA the show they deserve.
‘We are working diligently to find a new date, so please hold onto your tickets, and we will inform you all soon,’ it read.
Some fans took to the comments to express their disappointment.
One social media user voiced, ‘She ain’t just get sick a few hours ago. This should’ve been announced this morning or yesterday. This is extremely last minute and I’m very frustrated..’
Another person added: ‘nobody is mad bc she cancelled , it’s the fact they waited 4 hours before the event to tell us officially.’
And a third agreed, ‘That’s messed up 4 hours before the event.’
