A Chaotic Stretch for Nicki Minaj Is Capped by a Canceled Tour

A Twitter rant on Sunday was followed on Tuesday by another diatribe on her Apple Beats 1 radio show, as Ms. Minaj took issue with music industry tactics that she, too, had employed, like bundling albums with merchandise and concert tickets to boost sales numbers. “He knows he doesn’t have the #1 album this week,” Ms. Minaj wrote of Mr. Scott on Twitter. Mr. Scott has not commented about his chart battle with Ms. Minaj.
The disappointing opening week for “Queen” came after the album’s early singles failed to gain traction, and its release date was pushed back from June to August. But the bumpy rollout, which included Ms. Minaj sending harsh messages to a writer critical of her work on Twitter, has not yet smoothed: On Tuesday night, the concert promoter Live Nation announced that Ms. Minaj’s co-headlining tour with Future this fall would be scrapped.

“Nicki Minaj has decided to re-evaluate elements of production on the NickiHndrxx Tour,” the company said in a statement. “Due to scheduling conflicts Future will not be on the North American run. Nicki Minaj will be announcing new North American dates to kick off in May 2019.”

“This is all happening because I pushed my album back two months,” Ms. Minaj said in a video to her fans posted on social media. “I just finished writing and recording literally hours before the album came out. So now I just simply don’t have the time to rehearse and be on the road in time to give you guys the level of a show I need to give.” She added in another Twitter post that she also has “TV spots, videos shoots, + Made In America Festival coming up.”
“I really apologize,” Ms. Minaj said, “but it’ll be worth it.”
“Queen” sold 78,000 copies and was streamed 129 million times in its first week, for a sales equivalent total of 185,000 units, compared to a debut week of 244,000 for her previous release, “The Pinkprint,” in 2014. The new album “often feels like it’s fulfilling a checklist, trying to appeal to multiple constituencies in a way that was de rigueur, say, a decade ago,” the New York Times critic Jon Caramanica wrote.

Nicki Minaj announces her retirement from music
"I've decided to retire & have my family"
Nicki Minaj says she is retiring from music.
“I’ve decided to retire & have my family,” the rapper said in a tweet posted Thursday afternoon. “I know you guys are happy now. To my fans, keep reppin me, do it til da death of me, in the box- cuz ain’t nobody checkin me. Love you for LIFE.”
Last month, Minaj revealed her intention to marry boyfriend Kenneth Petty. “I think I have what I was striving for, just happiness,” she explained during a recent episode of her Queen Radio show on Apple Music. “It was so hard to get to a happy place. Now that I’m there, I don’t want to compromise that for anyone or anything.”
When she made those comments, however, Minaj gave no indication that she’d be putting her music career on the back burner. In fact, she said the couple was planning their wedding around the making of her new album. “I have work on my album and I have a lot to focus on that I don’t want to do the big wedding now. We’ll do the big wedding later,” she explained.
It remains to be seen whether Minaj actually intends to hang up her heels for good or will ultimately pull a JAY-Z (aka retire from music only to return a couple years later). The latter obviously seems much more likely; in the meantime, we’ve reached out to Minaj’s representatives for more information.
Minaj released her last album, Queen, in August 2018. Back in June, she released a new single called “Megatron”, and recently teamed up with Megan Thee Stallion on “Hot Girl Summer”.
