The 39-year-old rapper was unable to attend a meet and greet in London after she was trapped in her car, arriving hours late.
He traveled to the UK to perform at the Wireless Festival in Finsbury Park at the weekend – where police also had to be deployed to manage the crowds – and announced yesterday that he would be at Cafe KOKO.
But after repeated attempts to reach the venue safely on Monday, her chauffeur-driven car was blocked as screaming fans surrounded the vehicle and chased it down the road.
Taking to Twitter to share the clip of a fan on a black plane, Nicki wrote: ‘Guys if you don’t get into a confined space they won’t let me out of the cars. Please do not run on the streets. Please enter 1 position. 1 line.’
The Met Police said they had deployed officers to close roads and manage crowds as they confirmed that Minaj and organizers had canceled the event “in the interest of safety”.
