Despite the odds against her favor, nothing could stop the Queen from making it to Montreal for her "Pink Friday 2" tour stop in Montreal.

As is expected for any massive trek, Nicki Minaj's Pink Friday 2 world tour hasn't been without its hiccups here and there. Still, she and her team have been able to work through them gracefully and effectively, leading to overall praised performances and a consistent run that's been able to handle technical and logistical problems well. However, the Trinidadian superstar insinuated on Twitter on Wednesday night (April 17) that something more malicious was taking place to "sabotage" her concerts. For those unaware, she arrived later than expected at her Montreal show that night due to flight delays and cancellations, plus processes upon arrival that she explains in the tweet below.

"Yesterday my flight scheduled for midnight shut their plane down @ 12:58pm," Nicki Minaj tweeted. "Never in 15 years have I heard of anything like that. A 70K G4 and thought we were going to PAY THEM for that flight as well as whatever flight I’d have to get on next. They thought wrong.

Nicki Minaj Claims She Overcame Sabotage For Her Montreal Pink Friday 2 World Tour Stop Last Night

"Today, we asked if we could leave at 1pm," Nicki Minaj continued. "They said no, we could leave at 3pm. Then they said that won’t work, we’d need to leave at 5pm. ?!?!!!!! Yup. For a 930pm show in Canada. When we got to the plane, they then said they were 'STILL FUELING'. At 630pm, they said they were 'still fueling' (for an hour & a half flight) When we did get to Canada, they did a bunch of stuff they didn’t do the last 2 times I came for the OVO FEST. They started searching through my personal purses. Usually they take me to the car with my purses & check the bigger luggage. Nope. Not this time.
