Nicki Minaj Cancels U.K. Concerts Due to Vocal Cord Damage

Nicki Minaj has pulled the plug on her concerts in the U.K. this weekend because of vocal cord damage.

In a statement to THR, the rapper-singer's publicist said she "regretfully cancelled" her shows at the V Festival in England on Saturday and Sunday "due to strained vocal cords."

Minaj's rep adds that, "Despite doctor's orders, she performed on a bruised vocal chord in (New York City) on August 14. As a result, the chord has gotten worse."
