Nicki Minaj cancels fall tour with Future

Well, never mind the NickiHndrxx tour.

The pairing of Nicki Minaj and Future, which was scheduled to play Philips Arena on Oct. 25, is off.

Minaj apparently has “decided to re-evaluate elements of production” for the tour following her extravagant performance on the MTV VMAs earlier this week and is dedicating fall to rehearsing for the 2019 European leg of the outing.

Minaj will announce new North American dates for a kickoff in May 2019. But due to scheduling conflicts, Future will not be part of the tour.

Refunds for the previously scheduled dates are available at point of purchase.
