Hours after the event, Minaj announced she would be hosting a spontaneous meet and greet at Cafe Koko in Camden, which prompted crowds to arrive at the venue from the early hours of the morning in hope of catching a glimpse of the Super Bass singer. Nicki Minaj told her Instagram followers she would arrive at 12pm. This was later pushed back to 2pm and when she tried to enter the venue just before 6pm police had to form a wall around her as masses of fans rushed to see her. Police had to escort Minaj back to her vehicle before she could enter the venue.
The rapper later wrote on Instagram: “My babies I love you all so much. “Thank you to the officers for helping us so much today.”
Ahead of her attempted arrival, a select number were allowed into Cafe Koko after a few hours while thousands waited in the heat in hope of seeing the rapper.
Back in September, Nicki Minaj said that Prince Harry is a “real man” for choosing Meghan Markle over the British Royal Family. A month after Prince Harry and Meghan Markle revealed their plans to “Megxit” Nicki Minaj threw her support behind the royal couple when they decided to pull the plug on their working relationship with the monarchy and move to California instead.
Speaking on Apple Music’s Queen Radio she said: “Now I do want to get into something ‒ who thinks it’s cool that the girl Meghan Markle left the UK with her husband? Kudos to Harry because let me tell you something, and this is what I love about my husband ‒ real men always say a happy wife, a happy life. That’s what real men say.”
