Nicki Minaj’s recent performance at Malahide Castle has sparked significant criticism from disappointed fans, who described the event as a “disgrace” and a “disaster.” The US rapper arrived on stage an hour and a half late, leaving fans waiting in rainy conditions, and her set lasted only 45 minutes, far shorter than the promised two hours.

Following this, Minaj has withdrawn from a festival in Romania, citing “safety concerns” and the “wellbeing of our team and myself.”

One attendee, Ross, expressed skepticism over Minaj’s excuse of heavy rainfall causing the delay, pointing out that other performers like Kings of Leon managed their shows in similar weather conditions without issue or delay. He noted the lack of apology from Minaj after the late start.

Another attendee, Ruby, described the overall experience as “awful,” highlighting the discomfort of waiting in the cold and rain, which led to tensions among the crowd, including fights and arguments. She emphasized the disappointment felt by many attendees who had paid between €70 and €90 for tickets, with some in the golden circle paying nearly €200.

In summary, Minaj’s performance at Malahide Castle has left fans deeply dissatisfied, with complaints ranging from the late start and short duration of the show to the adverse conditions and lack of communication or apology from the artist.
