Nicki painted a picture of venues that were never suitable for her demanding live show.
'These two cities that had technical issues were cities that I'd never been to before, and we tried to add them, but they just didn't have the power in the building to facilitate my show. And they didn't tell us that until three hours before the show, as opposed to once we did sound check, and they said it was fine.'
'But anyway, every artist — every artist — has technical difficulties and have to cancel shows. I want to tell you guys that I love you dearly and I really hope to make it up very soon,' she concluded.
The two canceled dates were part of the Pink Print singer's Nicki Wrld Tour, featuring rapper Juice Wrld.

Poorly worded: A statement haphazardly translated from French to English was posted to Nicki's Instagram address the cancelation
Her statement didn't address whether the singer and rapper's tour organizers had failed to properly vet the French venues, or if they were misled prior to the shows.
