Yesterday, it was reported that Future pulled out of the North American leg of the NickiHndrxx Tour due to scheduling conflicts, but now it seems like the entire thing has been postponed until next year. As Nicki Minaj puts it, her album got delayed two months and now doesn’t have enough time to rehearse and give fans the absolute best show she can, since she was working tirelessly to finish QUEEN.
Live Nation also put a statement saying:
“Nicki Minaj has decided to reevaluate elements of production on the NickiHndrxx Tour. Nicki has decided to contribute more time to rehearsal ahead of the tour’s launch to make certain her fans get the absolute best quality show that they deserve,”

The European leg of the tour will remain the same, but Nicki is still working out the details of what will happen with the North American version of the tour. She doesn’t know if it’s going to be a co-headliner or a few supporting acts.
New dates for the tour will kick off in May 2019.
UPDATE: Nicki responds to reports of a “cancelled” tour. Also, a source within Live Nation told the New York Post that the tour had “the most disappointing ticket sales of the year for any artist.”
