Nicki Minaj had to cancel a concert in Bordeaux, France just a few hours before she and opener Juice WRLD were scheduled to perform on Saturday (March 9). The cancellation was blamed on technical difficulties, which also derailed Nicki’s February 22 performance in Bratislava, Slovakia.
The Black Barbie addressed the botched event at the Arkéa Arena in Bordeaux via Twitter.
“Why would an artist cancel a show & lose money?” she wrote. “What for? When they’re already in the building, dressed, etc. The artist is just as mad as the fans when a show can’t go on. I love seeing my fans. Nothing can stop me. B4 the show, juice WRLD & I are just as excited as u guys are.”
Nicki also posted an Instagram video explaining what happened.
“You guys, it’s not in my best interest not to perform and lose money and aggravate my fans,” she stated. “I love performing for my fans. I’m more excited than you are before the show.
“These two cities that had technical issues were cities that I’d never been to before, and we tried to add them, but they just didn’t have the power in the building to facilitate my show. And they didn’t tell us that until three hours before the show, as opposed to once we did soundcheck and they said it was fine.”
She added, “Every artist — every artist — has technical difficulties and have to cancel shows. I wanna tell you guys that I love you dearly, and I really hope to make it up very soon.”

It sucks when these “superstars” can’t sell tickets anymore. She didn’t want videos or photos leaking of half empty concerts, so she bailed.
The issue is that she was seen at a festival at the moment she was supposed to perform. Like right before. It was a really bad idea to come out like that when she was supposed to be ready perform. I don’t know it seems really unprofessional.
If the electricity grid of the venue was an issue, why not just scale down? Dumb idea to bail on fans. Wtf was she powering up? Do with what you have at your disposal. Excuses from this THOT flow like wine.
Time to find a 9-5.
Movie Of The Week ( The Glass )
Trash
Yo, get the fuck outta here. Including sure the speakers and microphone work. That’s all the fans want.
Bro I went to a Lady Gaga concert in the rain at Citi Field and the rain fucked up her whole show, none of the show elements worked, but the mics and speakers did. So her ass got in the rain and gave a fire performance without the flashy shit.
Fuck outta here.
You forgot to mention that that you are a huge flame retardant for going to a Lady Gaga show. Luckily that rain kept your booty snatch fire from hurting anyone.
If he’s flame retardant wouldn’t he then be the opposite of what you’re saying he is? Retardant means he’s basically fire proof you moron.
Best comment of the week lol
You said it man. Only reason I visit this sight is for the comments
Nicki you couldn’t sell enough tickets and were to embarrassed to go out there and perform in a venue that wasn’t even half full. Stop lying all the time.
