Nicki Minaj has canceled her appearance at the Saga Festival in Bucharest, Romania, citing safety concerns. The US rapper was scheduled to perform on Sunday evening but was warned about local protests.
She emphasized the need to make “sound decisions” for her own safety and that of her team, prioritizing their ability to return home to their families.
Minaj expressed hope to perform at the Wireless Festival in London on Friday.In a post on social media platform X, Minaj explained that her security detail advised against traveling to the festival due to the protests.
She expressed disappointment but looked forward to future performances. Minaj also highlighted her responsibilities as a mother, needing to ensure she makes it home safely to her son and that her team returns to their families.
Last month, Minaj’s show in Amsterdam was canceled after she was arrested for allegedly trying to take “soft drugs” out of the country. She claimed racial discrimination in her treatment.
The arrest caused a delay, leading her to miss a performance at Manchester’s Co-op Live Arena, which was later rescheduled.
