Fans in New Orleans will have to wait to see Nicki Minaj's "Pink Friday 2" tour.

Nicki Minaj fans are furious after the rapper canceled her concert in New Orleans on Monday night due to illness. While the excuse is fair, many attendees were displeased they only received a few hours notice. The Smoothie King Center's official Instagram page made the announcement around 5:00 PM on the night of the concert.

“Due to doctor’s orders, Nicki Minaj must reschedule her NOLA show tonight," the statement reads. "As Nicki is still sick, our team does not want to run the risk of getting others sick, and Nicki would not be able to give NOLA the show they deserve. We are working diligently to find a new date, so please hold onto your tickets, and we will inform you all soon.”
