    Nicki Minaj won’t headline this year’s Calabar festival

    Multiple-award winning American super star, NIcki Minaj, would not be headlining this year’s Calabar Festival, organisers have said.

    The media, particularly the online media, had been awash with reports that the songstress would be storming Calabar, the Cross River State capital, for the festival.

    But a statement issued by the organisers said though Nicki, like many other world-acclaimed musicians, was under consideration, a deal with her was never reached owing to her asking price.

    The online media had also claimed that the super star was paid about 200,000 dollars to perform at the festival. But the organisers said to bring the pop sensation to Calabar would cost at least one million dollars.

    The organisers, however, assured of a fun-filled festival that would offer unrivalled entertainment.
