The nationwide tour was scheduled to begin in early July and run through late summer.

Last month, Minaj hinted at the possibility of having Kanye West and Swizz Beatz produce her Young Money debut.

“I’m probably definitely going to work with Kanye,” she revealed in an interview. “On my debut, I worked with Sean Garrett. And probably Swizz Beatz, he’s gonna send me something. I like to work with unknown producers as well, so I accept beats from everybody.” (Rap-Up)

In December, she said there was an intention to drop a “classic” debut.

“The [album], that’s what I’m actually getting ready to work on because I’ve been on the road for such a long time, I’m taking a complete hiatus for the next couple months, unfortunately, for all the promoters giving crazy offers,” Minaj told DJ Whoo Kid. “And I’ve been turning every one because I have to put my foot down for the next few months and deliver a classic album and I already have stuff and I can’t wait for the world to hear. All the stuff we talk about is fun and games and all that but the music is what’s most important and I don’t want all the people to be distracted by the other stuff and so I’m gonna take a break and when I come back you guys will have some very, very great music.” (Radio Planet TV)
