After fans were blitzed with the revelation that the NICKIHNDRXX Tour North American leg was canceled, a reason has surfaced and it appears general engagement is to blame. According to PageSix, ticket sales are “in the toilet” and the tour is in danger of being canceled by its promoter Live Nation.
“Nicki’s tour could be the most disappointing ticket sales of the year for any artist,” a Live Nation source said. “These are big arenas with up to 20,000 capacities. Sales for opening night in Baltimore is 2,000 tickets. L.A. is 3,400, New Orleans 1,000, Denver 1,300, Chicago 3,900. Even her hometown Brooklyn is only 5,050.”
An industry insider reportedly 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.”
Several top-music industry insiders claim Barbie is “spiraling out of control” after noticing the abysmal tour ticket sales.
Plus, Nicki’s Twitter meltdown on Sunday (August 19) involving her vitriol towards Travis Scott, his girlfriend Kylie Jenner, and Spotify showed her true feelings about her album being No. 2 on the Billboard 200.
Scott’s Astroworld, of course, remains in the No. 1 spot for the second consecutive week.
Nicki continued her attack on La Flame calling him a “stupid fuck” and giving him the “hoe ass nigga award” during her Tuesday’s (August 21) episode of Queen Radio.
On Tuesday night, it was announced the North American leg of the NICKIHNDRXX Tour had been cancelled altogether. The European leg, however, will go on as planned and kicks off in May 2019.
The “Queen” of rap delivered a video message on her Twitter account on Tuesday night breaking down the sudden changes.
In the video, she cites a conflict with Future’s current work schedule as the reason for the North American tour dates being cancelled. According to a press release, she also wants to “reevaluate elements of production” for the tour and do more rehearsal time “to make certain her fans get the absolute best quality show that they deserve.” [apple_news_ad type=”any”]
So…..Remy Ja Rule’d her, Cardi replaced her audience wise, and Rapsody still isn’t being mentioned….right, Nicki can win by simply making a RAP ALBUM not this pop trap hybrid shit…
I think once she do try a real rap album be to late this should have been here classsic but she is washed like a rag
Karma is a b**** Nicki. From day 1, always thought you were corny and that whole self proclaimed queen of rap thing…..LOL! Should’ve stayed humble, now the f***ery is over 🙁
Hahahahaha finally!!!!
Damn, even Nicki’s own Barbie Army don’t wanna go to her shows. If Nicki stayed humble about having a #2 album and wasn’t talking shit about Travis and Cardi and making a song with a pedophile, then she would still be in good standing. Maybe she can bring Pusha T along on her European tour. Meanwhile, Drizzy’s concerts are still selling out every arena. Monday night’s concert was the best. When he sang “In My Feelings” I couldn’t contain my excitement. Thank God for the 6ix God.
Didn’t know 6ix9ine is a God…
Talking about my boo Drizzy, not that rainbow haired pedophile. You probably a Pusha T fan too.
Your “boo” Drizzy? (PAUSE)
Because travis inflated sales by cheat tactics.
By the way, cardi b isn’t the queen of hiphop because she makes pop music with maroon 5 and bruno mars. Nicki stays true to hiphop.
Rememer Starships? The rest of us do. She is not the only one making pop songs.
Last time I checked nicki added a 69 song to her album just to boost sales. How did Travis cheat? Of course his baby mama promoted his album, his label pre-bought albums to hand out with merch something Jay-Z, Young Money, and many other artists have done before. They were playing the same game she’s just lost and can’t accept it.
Dan Dan the Gay Ass Stan ife he cant defend her no one can!
LMAO Ariana Grande Bed feat Nicki is so hip hop. Yeah that Boom Bap. hahahaha
meanwhile somewhere Travis Scott is chuckling to himself
its not just about Nicki. Future is on the bill too. No one gives a fuck about these flash in the pan rappers. Not even their fans.
I agree the sales look bad for both of em, but she’s been around since 2010 and he’s been around since 2012 that’s a long flash
Its the rap game you can’t remain on top forever, its only so far that fake ass and looking like a hoe can get you, after showing it all and fucking every rapper, the shit get boring after a while
look bitche.
lucky to get #2 really.
Wait to see what the next album gets if there is even another. Not even top 20 probably.
We have seen all that you have to say. Not as hot as you were and no real content.
When all you sell is sexy and you aint got none left thats it.
Besides putting that lil clown rainbow hoe on your tour was a big mistake too.
Who wants to go to another shootout. We got families no time for all that shit.
Future is done and your old ass is over too. Putting that trendy popular idiot with skittle dick won’t save your fat ass.
You sucked all of the right scholngs to get to the top and now they on to the next new hot easy piece cause no one wants your ol meek mill weezy smelling worn out ol vag.
How u know he got a skittles dick homie?
Y’all be typing anything.
This ain’t just about Nicki, feels like Future is over too. And that’s fine, the people decide and they gave them both a nice career, more than a lot of artists ever experience. It’s cool, we good now, that’s all…
yeah they both a good decade or so run. I dont wish for anyone’s career to demise, but they’re both responsible for a lot of shitty “music,” both themselves and those they’ve influenced. Cant say I’ll miss either one!
I still like Future. I saw him live in Syndey last year and I was suprised at how sick it was.
Future has been trash from day 1
What the fuck was her brand?
Hmmm who woulda thought after fredo santana lil peep and these other rappers over dosing and people becoming more concious about drug abuse woulda effected futures sales and nicki minaj being a petty pathetic ass bitch at 35 years old actting like a pathetic 10 year old not getting enough attention from mommy and daddy and lashing out cause she aint getting her way god damn who woulda thought not to mention adding someone as controversial as rainbow haired rapist turned women beater during the #metoo era would effect sales i thought these morons had managers?
Damn, even a bitch off Love and Hip Hop can sell more tickets than Minaj. Nicki Minaj music been trash though, always has been and always will be.
Europe does get a lot of trashy taste music fans though. I guarantee Nicki could sell out 10 straight shows in London and anywhere in Germany.
Nah, they just support music. A lot of older hip hop artists play there cause the fans aren’t ageist, jump on what’s hot clowns like US people.
This is not surprising when Cardi B came on the scene it was over for Nicki now she can head to Love and Hip Hop you lucky to last 3yrs in the most fickle business on earth
Actually this isn’t true. Future cancelled because of tekashi being added , I have proof from the people that were going to make the tour merch.
How is nobody noticing that she is clearly fucked up on pain pills. Not in the video here but just in general. Everything she has done over the last two or three weeks… Blastin ppl on Twitter that aren’t even relevant to music… Like safaree… Buggin out on Travis Scott because he took number 1…making music with this kid that every relevant rapper doesn’t even fuck with… Canceling her tour in the US…..6 months from now, there will be a article about her needing help… Watch
I agree. She is starting to remind me of Tyrese from a year or so ago. Her debut album was good but then she changed her style and went all the way pop and fell off hard.
Gay ass Drake is next.I hope Travis Scott stays at number one longer than his corny ass scorpion album did. Travis Scott sucks too, but less than Drake.
Lol 6goat Drizzy going nowhere fuckboi, he ain’t Nicki, he da G.O.A.T !!
Hello Nicki,
Please come to Providence.
Rhode Island got mad love for you.
I’m sure it would sell out.
Thank You God Bless?
Girrrrl just except the fact u aint the QUEEN AT THE END OF THE DAY…..IT IS WHAT IT IS!!! U FELL OFF A LONG TIME AGO!!! REMY SHUT U DOWN NOW U WANNA COME BACK AND TRY TO CLAIM A THRONE U BEEN LOST BITCH PLEASE HAVE SEVERALSEATS
Lemme guess: Travis’s fault?
oh christ what a fucking diva.
I heard different. Future declined to tour with tekashi on the bill and it fell apart.
If your name doesn’t end with Latifah ya ain’t the “Queen” of nere nuddin
Truth.
