U.S. rapper Nicki Minaj said Tuesday she's pulling out of a planned concert in Saudi Arabia next week.
Minaj cited her support for the rights of women and the LGBTQ community behind the decision to withdraw.
Minaj is known for her raunchy outfits and provocative stage performances.
According to Reuters, she was due to headline the Jeddah World Fest music festival on July 18th.
However, her plan to appear was criticized last week on social media.
