During the mayhem of her postponed meet & greet in London on Monday, Nicki Minaj is alleged to have shoved a fan (July 11).
The Young Money superstar had planned to meet with fans at a location in Camden at noon, but once thousands of fans turned up, the event got out of hand. After arriving hours later than expected, Nicki was greeted by a crowd and forced to be taken back to her SUV before accelerating away.
The Pink Friday singer was seen shoving a fan in a since-deleted TikTok video from the hectic situation as she made her way on foot through the crowd to the venue. TikTok user @theyluviish ignored Nicki’s requests to “back up” and went in for a picture before receiving a stern shove in the back from the Queen artist.
“Nicki Minaj literally pushed me omg [crying face emoji,” the fan captioned the clip. “My fave literally touched me [crying face emoji] [heart-eyes emoji].” He added in the comments section of his video that he was “just happy Nicki touched” him.
Despite Nicki Minaj appealing with her followers to line up in a line outside the venue on Twitter, the meet-and-greet was finally postponed. On Monday night, Camden Police released a statement confirming that the event had been cancelled by the organizers owing to safety concerns.
Nicki later shared first-person video of the London audience on Instagram and commented, “My babies, I love you all so much. Thank you to the officers for helping us so much today.”
She also shared a video of her car speeding away from the venue while being pursued by a mob of yelling fans.
In a record lineup of all-female headliners over the course of the weekend, Nicki Minaj closed up London’s Wireless Festival on Sunday (July 10), after Cardi B on Friday (July 8) and SZA on Saturday. This was prior to her scheduled meet & greet (July 9).
Nicki’s highly anticipated performance, however, was cut short owing to the festival’s 9:30 p.m. curfew because to technical issues and a late start.
