"We are working diligently to find a new date, so please hold onto your tickets, and we will inform you all soon," tour officials said.

NEW ORLEANS — According to tour officials, Nicki Minaj's 'Pink Friday 2 World Tour' was canceled hours before the sold-out show was set to start "due to doctors' orders."

"As Nicki is still sick, our team does not want to run the risk of getting others sick, and Nicki would not be able to give NOLA the show they deserve. We are working diligently to find a new date, so please hold onto your tickets, and we will inform you all soon," tour officials said.

Smoothie King Center doors were set to open at 7 p.m. on Monday.

Minaj last performed on Friday at Rolling Loud California. On Saturday, she tweeted that she woke up feeling like she had COVID-19. 

"Barbz pls send me healing energy. woke up feeling like I had Covid. Thank God I don’t. You guys are just everything. I appreciate you. I love you so much," Minaj said in the Tweet.
