Jeddah: Singer Nicki Minaj has withdrawn her attendance from the Jeddah Music Festival, where she was to headline a concert on 18 July.
"After careful reflection I have decided to no longer move forward with my scheduled concert at Jeddah World Fest," Nicki Minaj said in a media statement issued by her publicist.
The official account for Saudi Arabia’s Jeddah Season had tweeted a few days ago that “Nicki Minaj is coming to Jeddah,” and since reactions on social media have been divided.
Minaj’s name has also been taken down as the headliner from the festival's website.
