Nicki Minaj caused fury in the streets of London on Thursday after rocking up over five hours late for a meet and greet and then speeding off in her vehicle after seeing the chaotic turnout.

The superstar is in the UK after performing a delayed set plagued with technical glitches and sound issues at Wireless Festival in London’s Finsbury Park last night.

The star who arranged to meet fans at midday turned up just after 5pm to the relief and delight of thousands of them who spotted her SUV and ran in a frenzy alongside it.

Nicki, who sported a long orange wig and baseball cap, managed to briefly make it out of the jeep, but was overwhelmed and mobbed by the crowd and was soon rushed back into the vehicle by her security. They then drove off.

However, the Chun-Li hitmaker gave hope that she was just moving to a more secure spot because the crowd was too deep.


She took to Twitter and cautioned in writing: ‘Guys, if you don’t get in a contained space they won’t let me get out the cars. Pls don’t run in the streets. Please get in 1 place. 1 line.’  

However, moments later a police officer stood in between the crowd of fans and told them to stop gathering as she had in fact left the area and would not be making a return.

This turned into thousands by midday when the star was expected to rock up.

However as the clock kept ticking with no signs of the rapper, her fans’ patience turned into fury.

By 4pm, some took to Twitter to slam the star, and complained of being hungry, feeling duped and that they were struggling to deal with the capital’s soaring temperatures.

Metro.co.uk has contacted reps for Nicki Minaj for comment.
