'No respect for fans,' one angry fan said
Nicki Minaj fans were left furious after the singer reportedly turned up an hour and a half late to her Malahide Castle gig.
The American rapper left concert goers soaked in the rain with many leaving the Dublin venue on Saturday night.
The Anaconda hitmaker reportedly arrived on stage close to 10pm, around an hour and a half later than expected.

One fan said: “Two-hour journey from Belfast to Dublin Nicki Minaj is an hour and 25 minutes late so far. everyone is soaked and freezing. Home time for me… very disappointed.”
Another annoyed fan said: “Nicki Minaj any chance you could make an appearance on stage in Dublin? 45 minutes left till closing?! What a joke.”
One concertgoer said when Minaj did eventually come out on stage, she left five minutes later because her DJ played the wrong setlist.
The fan said: “Nicki Minaj hours late to her own show in Dublin then after five minutes storms off stage because her own DJ plays the wrong setlist. Thousands of people let down once again by the artist herself, shameful and disgraceful.”
Others took aim at concert promoter MCD, asking them “never to represent” Minaj again.
Lee said: “MDC Productions I sincerely hope you will never represent Nicki Minaj again. She should be banned from Dublin. Who will be compensating all the fans she has let down this evening?”
Katie said on X, formerly of Twitter: “Except it’s nearly 10pm and she’s still not on stage. Rude to everyone in Dublin who showed up to see her.”
Another fan said: “I hope people at Nicki Minaj tonight at Dublin will be getting a refund @nickiminaj should be ashamed of herself coming on just before 10pm, an hour and a half late, sing twice and goes to change with 15 minutes left before curfew. No respect for fans.”
Nicki made no comment on her fans being left annoyed and instead posted a video of her coming on stage on Saturday night.
She captioned the video: “This is not a festival. This was #GagCityDublin Ireland a couple of hours ago. The crown is with them from this day forth. I’ll post the rest tomorrow.”
Hundreds of people left comments under the post, including who said: “Worst gig ever, arrived on stage at 9:50, kept fans waiting in the lashings of rain, proceeded to have loads of lengthy costume changes, lots of fans disappointed.”
Another wrote: “So many little kids went to this as their first concert and were so disappointed, do better,” while another person added: “@nickiminaj as much as I love you, you know last night was an absolute disaster!! Left us waiting until 2200 then you finished at 2252!!
“You left the stage multiple times for costume changes when you didn’t really have time, curfew was 2230!! Do better next time, we were disappointed.”
A rep for MCD has been contacted for comment.
It isn’t the first time her fans have been left raging at the singer. Minaj was due to perform at the 3Arena in 2019 but the gig was cancelled hours before the singer was due on stage after equipment trucks were unable to get to Dublin due poor weather conditions over the Irish Sea.
And in May of this year, fans were furious after the American rapper's performance at Manchester's Co-op Live Arena was cancelled at the last minute following her detention at Amsterdam's Schiphol Airport.
Minaj was arrested on suspicion of exporting soft drugs before being fined 350 euros (£300; $380) and allowed to continue her journey, Dutch authorities said.
The artist didn't make it to Manchester in time for her concert on Saturday, which was postponed as about 20,000 fans were in the arena waiting for her to take the stage.
