The singer’s publicist told The Hollywood Reporter that Minaj "regretfully cancelled" her shows at the V Festival in England on Saturday and Sunday "due to strained vocal cords.”

The rep explained, “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."

Nicki recently rocked NYC when she performed on “Good Morning America.”
