Nicki Minaj Cancels Concert At Saudi Arabian Festival

The Human Rights Foundation is applauding Nicki Minaj's decision to back out of a concert in Saudi Arabia.

According to CNN, Minaj was scheduled to headline the Jeddah World Fest, a music and performance festival, on July 18.

Saudi Arabia is a conservative kingdom where people are segregated by gender and same-sex relationships are criminalized.

Last week, the Human Rights Foundation called for the rapper to cancel her concert, and it recently thanked Minaj for her decision.
