Nicki Minaj is back on the road for her joint tour with Juice WRLD, "NickiWRLD" tour. The rapper's tour kicked off last night in Munich, Germany which seemed to go over smooth. Unfortunately, the second date of the tour in Bratislava, Slovakia got canceled tonight at last night. However, Nicki still gave the Barbz a night to remember.

According to TMZ, Nicki Minaj was forced to cancel her show tonight due to technical issues but that didn't stop her from showing fans love. Sources claim that the venue wasn't able to support the tech aspects of her live performance which caused the transformers to shut down. The venue suffered several outages as a result of this.

However, Nicki, who's fully aware of the powers that the Barbz collectively hold, didn't allow fans to leave without connecting with them. Nicki reportedly came out to tell the audience what went wrong and spent the following hours walking around the venue and saying hello to her fans. 

The tour is set to continue on Sunday in Poland and there are another 20 dates remaining on her tour. However, she's currently working to find a replacement date for her fans in Slovakia fans as soon as possible. 

Earlier this month, Nicki Minaj announced that she completed her follow-up to Queen during her "Goin Bad" freestyle. She hasn't revealed when we could expect it but we're definitely excited to hear what she has up her sleeve.
