US rapper Nicki Minaj has cancelled a gig in Dublin after bad weather left her equipment stranded.

The world famous star known for her risque routines had been due to play at the Irish capital’s 3Arena on Friday night.

But strong winds affecting Irish Sea sailings over the last 24 hours stopped some of her equipment vehicles from being transported.

In a statement, Minaj apologised to her fans.

The concert is expected to be rescheduled.
