Nicki Minaj has canceled her concert in Bucharest, Romania due to safety concerns. The singer-songwriter announced the decision on her social media account, citing protests in the area that her security team believes could turn violent. Putting the safety of her son and her team first, Minaj explained that she cannot risk going ahead with the performance. She expressed her love for her fans and explained that she will be heading back to London for another show later in the week. Romanian activists are planning a protest in Bucharest's town center, sparking concerns about potential violence. While some fans are offering support, others speculate that the real reason for the cancellation may not be related to safety concerns. This is not the first time Minaj has had to cancel a show last minute, as she previously missed a performance in Manchester due to an arrest in Amsterdam.
