Nicki Minaj allegedly flew to China to perform at a festival that would have been a scam.
The American rap star decided to play 90 minutes at the Jakarta Warehouse Project China festival, but later learned that the event was not as it had been announced, reports Shanghaiist.
The festival was originally presented as a spin-off of the Jakarta Warehouse Project (DWP), which takes place in Bali, Indonesia.
But just before the event, the company behind the Indonesian festival criticized the credibility of the event in China, claiming that the use of its brand image was "unauthorized".
In a statement issued via BuzzFeed, DWP explained: "The event that would take place in Shanghai on November 17 and 18, 2018 is an unauthorized use of the DWP brand.
"DWP as a brand has no connection with the event."
The event is still happening but Nicki is not there – much to the chagrin of fans, some of whom have spent more than $ 400 on their ticket.
In a video recorded by a fan, Nicki promised to return to Shanghai with a "best partner".
The rap star said, "I'll be back for my real fans in Shanghai, China, I love you so much.
"And I'll be back with a better partner this time, okay?"
Meanwhile, Nicki recently claimed that her critics were waiting to see her "fall".
The star, who was involved in an altercation with Cardi B, her rival rap, at New York Fashion Week earlier this year, claimed that some people hoped she would soon be usurped as the most popular rapper of the music industry.
Nicki explained, "I've been at the top of this totem for a very long time – sometimes people just want to see someone who's been at the top, just to see if it can happen."
