Yesterday, it was announced that Nicki Minaj will headline the biggest live music event ever staged in Saudi Arabia. Today, people are voicing their (pretty big) concerns about the decision.
Nicki will be performing along with musician Steve Aoki, and singer Liam Payne at the huge event taking place on 18 July at King Abdullah Sports City Stadium.
The ‘Anaconda’ singer is known for racy outfits, outlandish behaviour and some pretty graphic lyrics – all of which don’t seem to resonate with Saudi Arabia’s laws and beliefs. The general consensus amongst people is confusion amidst outrage.
So, many people took to Twitter to vent
Saudi Arabia recently taken some initiatives including Nicki Minaj’s concert are really shocking for Muslim Ummah. This is not the behaviour of a Muslim country. Allah will surely destroy them who cross their limitations.

“Next time bring Mia Khalifa.”
Minaj’s music have also stirred controversy due to one of her hit songs concluding with “wrap like the things on the head of a Saudi.”
