Nicki Minaj has cancelled a festival appearance in Romania over “safety concerns”.

The US rapper, 41, had been due to perform at Saga Festival in Bucharest on Sunday evening.

But she was warned about “protests in the area”, she said, and needed to make “sound decisions” so that she made it home to her son and her team to their families.

She acted out of concern for the “well-being of our team and myself”, she said.

She is still hoping to perform at the Wireless Festival in London…
