Nicki Minaj‘s show won’t go on in Romania … ’cause she just pulled the plug on her concert in Bucharest — saying her security detail tells her it’s not safe.
The singer-songwriter announced the news less than an hour ago on her X account … letting her millions of followers know she won’t hit the stage in Eastern Europe — ’cause her team says protests in the area could explode into violence.
NM says she’s a mom first … and, she needs to think about her safety for her son and the other team members traveling with her — so, she just can’t take the risk.
Minaj tells her fans she loves them and hopes they’ll understand her decision … before adding she’s heading back to London to perform a show later this week.
Romanian activists plan to march on Bucharest’s tomorrow morning — about 12 hours from now — to protest the state’s fiscal policies. Unclear why Nicki’s team thinks violence may explode … but, clearly she’s not comfortable taking the risk.
BTW … mixed reactions on social media — with some fans sending Nicki love while others claim there’s a very small amount of protesting in the area, so Minaj just doesn’t really want to come to Bucharest.

As you know, not the first time Nicki’s had to cancel a show last minute … remember, in late May, Nicki got arrested at the airport in Amsterdam — and the delay caused her to miss her show in Manchester that night.
Anyhoo … like Nicki says, the “Pink Friday 2” tour rolls on in London next week — and, Romanian Barbz will just have to wait until the next time Nicki comes to town.
