Nicki Minaj fans have slammed the rapper’s gig in Dublin as the ‘worst they’ve ever been to’ after they were left stranded in the rain for hours on end
Nicki Minaj’s Dublin concert has been branded as “the worst ever” by disgruntled fans who were left waiting in the rain for hours.
The rapper’s followers flocked to Malahide Castle on Saturday, July 6, marking Nicki’s first Irish performance since her shows at Dublin’s 3Arena and Belfast’s Odyssey Arena in 2015. Her scheduled gig at the 3Arena in March 2019 was abruptly cancelled due to bad weather, according to promoter MCD.
The ‘Super Bass’ hitmaker was set to continue the European leg of her Pink Friday 2 World Tour at 8:20 p.m.. However, she didn’t make an appearance until just before 10 p.m., with the venue enforcing a strict 10:30 p.m. curfew to allow concert-goers to catch public transport home.

Edward Fitzsimons, one fan who was left “extremely disappointed” by the rap queen’s lateness, took to TikTok to criticize the singer’s lack of professionalism and “disrespect”. Edward said: “The last time Nicki was supposed to be in Dublin was 2019…. she cancelled an hour before and she might as well have cancelled the gig last night.”
“We went from having the best gig of our lives last week at Taylor Swift to what I would say was the worst gig I’ve ever been to and I’ve been at maybe over 100 gigs. I paid €100 for the ticket. They weren’t cheap.”
Disgruntled concert-goers reported that Nicki Minaj performed for a mere 45 minutes, frequently interrupting the show to change her outfit. The Anaconda singer then allegedly rushed through her discography, opting for mash-ups instead of full-length songs.
Exceeding the curfew by 20 minutes, the concert concluded around 10:50 pm, making the delay 40 minutes longer than the concert itself. Edward continued: “She had five outfit changes in the space of an hour’s gig.Target joins Aldi, Whole Foods and other stores no longer accepting a popular form of payment”She changed the color of her hair more times than she sang… we were very close because we were in the Gold Circle but I couldn’t tell you if she sang live or not, either.
“Commenting on the dismal weather fans endured, the 27 year old humorously added: “It also rained the whole time so Nicki Minaj, you’re getting my HSE bill when I come down with hypothermia next week! Buzzing for that!”
