After delaying the release of her fourth studio album Queen, American rapper Nicki Minaj has now postponed her North American leg of NickiHndrxx Tour.

The 'Chun-Li' singer, in a Twitter video, revealed that she will kick off in Europe this coming February as planned, but has decided to contribute more time to rehearsal ahead of the tour's launch to make certain her fans get the absolute best quality show that they deserve.

In the video, she said, "Future and I will now start the European leg of our tour first, so those dates will stay exactly the same. And the US leg of the tour will now start in May."

"I still am going to do Australia in January, and this is all happening because I pushed my album back two months, and I just finished writing and recording hours before the album came out. So, now I just simply don't have the time to rehearse and be on the road in time to give you guys the level of a show I need to give. I really apologize, but it'll be worth it," the 35-year-old rapper added.

Minaj is now planning to reschedule her North American start date for May 2019.

Also, Minaj has been riding high on the success of her recent album, 'Queen'. The rapper collaborated with various artists including Drake, Ariana Grande, Eminem, The Weeknd, Lil Wayne, Future, Swae Lee, Labrinth, and Foxy Brown.
