The much publicised Nicki Minaj concert in South Africa is off, organizers say. In a statement, Rockstar 4000, blamed city authorities for lack of on-site service delivery. The City of Tshwane was to hold the September 26-28 event, which also had J Cole, Macklemore and Ryan Lewis as sparring headline acts. �TribeOne Festivals regrets to announce that the inaugural TribeOne Festival, set to take place in Cullinan on 26, 27 and 28 September 2014, has been cancelled,� the statement read. It further read: �Site preparation and related infrastructure development required to host the Festival, being the responsibility of the CoT, fell behind schedule to a material extent, such that it was no longer realistically possible to stage and deliver the Festival to the scale and quality that the organizers had always planned. �Under the circumstances, and despite efforts to seek alternative arrangements, the organizers have had no option but to cancel the event. �TribeOne Festivals apologises to all of those who were looking forward to the Festival � both the ticket holders, and the international and local performing artists who were booked by TribeOne Festivals for the event.� All ticket holders Rockstar 4000 says, �will be reimbursed.� A huge opening it was going to be for the Ghanaians acts (FOKN BOIS, others included), it�s all gone awry now as Rockstar 4000 continues to do repair to a brutally bruised image. Other African acts were also billed to perform.
