Nicki Minaj has rescheduled the North American leg of her tour.
Rolling Stone reports Minaj moved the dates to "reevaluate elements of production." Future, her partner on the tour, will not appear solo due to “scheduling conflicts.” Initially slated to begin in September, her North American tour will begin in May 2019.
"Nicki 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," read the media release, obtained by Billboard.
Minaj posted a video on Twitter, explaining the situation to her fans.

“This is all happening because I pushed my album back two months,” Minaj said. “I just finished writing and recording literally 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.”
She also confirmed she'll have to find another artist to join her due to Future's exit.
I promise it will be! Love you guys. Thank you ???????? https://t.co/j4pBy7r3J7
