Nicki Minaj has cancelled her headline performance at SAGA Festival in Bucharest, Romania, due to a planned protest in the city. The rapper made the announcement via X, stating that she had been “advised by my security detail not to travel to Romania’s festival.” Minaj continued to explain that “as a mom, I have to make sound decisions for me to make it home to my son.” With a "heavy heart," the festival organizers announced that all unscanned tickets will be refunded. The ‘Anaconda’ rapper didn’t detail what protest posed a security concern, but Crisis24 reported that “civil society groups plan to march in Bucharest.” Minaj clarified that she will continue her tour, next headlining Wireless Festival in London.
