Saudi Arabia has invited Nicki Minaj to perform at a music festival this month, an unusual move for the conservative kingdom

Minaj is scheduled to headline the Jeddah World Fest, a music and performance festival, on July 18. DJ Steve Aoki and singer Liam Payne have also been announced, and the kingdom is offering quick online visas for international visitors.Minaj is known for more than just her rap skills, with explicit lyrics and risque performances sometimes taking center stage.

This year, Mariah Carey held her own concert in Saudi Arabia, despite backlash from women's rights activists. Read MoreIt's all part of an economic overhaul under Vision 2030, an effort to reduce the kingdom's reliance on oil. The kingdom is attempting to create economic activity at home and encourage citizens to spend their money within its borders. But there are few entertainment attractions due to its ultraconservatism -- hence, the Jeddah World Fest.

You are so hot

Damn Nicky is about to perform in the real HANDMAIDS TALE GILEAD ! Shame 😩

A lot of Arabs got this thing for not liking NICKI MINAJ AND SUPPORTING CARDI B. I will never know why

Loosing values🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️ What is Saudi Arabia becoming?

Women get killed for dressing like minaj. To hell with SA

I would make sure what region first , before agreeing to anything.

The king wants to see some meat

Nicki is more like a porn star that a singer...!!

Hope its not another Kashoggi move! Be careful Nicki! Saudi govt ain't loyal!!!

She’s not welcomed by us Go to hell 🔥🔥

This Coexistence agenda is not really a good thing. I would prefer tolerance

Jamal Khashoggi.

I wonder what songs will she pic

secupp How is that going to work?

Say no!!!!!!

Who?

can't wait NICKIMINAJ

Thought FrencHMonTanA performed there this year

OMG WHAT THE HELL

Proving that sex is stronger than religion...

Good luck with that

Oh dear !!

😈😈😈😈

Shit taste

Worldwide Queen of rap!

Wait ,wait, I thought democrats hated saudia Arabia, you condemn President Trump for his support, but it’s ok when your friends do it

Lets not forget one of her biggest hits ‘anaconda’ where she intelligently and quite subtly uses the large Amazonian reptile to symbolize male genitalia all the while shaking her above average posterior. It’s still catchy tho

Is a trap nicki dnt go there

She openly admitted to drugging men and stealing from them. They can get that stripper a one way ticket!

All money is being t Good money , then again Beyoncé took it

Yeah, but I bet she's heavily invested in plastics. I mean, look at her. Allah would never make such perfection possible in the flesh.

Fake news watch Fox News for real honest news

Makes me upset that our companies are going other there. WWE has been dumping tons of money into Saudi Arabia. Next they’ll be going to North Korea

Hopefully she’s not that dumb and morally bankrupt

This will be fun. Grabs popcorn shitstorm

MBS got a hard-on

OgbeniDipo what you were saying earlier today right?

She should wear that.

Well.... $$$ talks

Never like her and now here's another reason I don't like her.. teamcardib

It could be fools day in Saudi Arabia.

I don't think Saudi Arabia can handle Niki Minaj outfit.

Indeed unusual!

And the sheiks will be wearing an increased size “thwab” so as not to be too obvious. 😉😉😉

Wish I could watch

rest in peace

Don’t risk it Nicki!
