How Nicki Minaj Was Swarmed By Her Fans "Barbz" during Meet And Greet London (VIDEO)


Hip-hop legend, Nicki Minaj was overwhelmed by hundreds of her fans in the United Kingdom following an impromptu meet and greet she organized shortly after delivering a historic performance at the wireless festival which was No1 trending topic worldwide.


 The "Do We Have A Problem"  rapper had posted on Instagram that she would be at Cafe Koko in Camden from noon on Monday, which prompt many to arrive at the venue in the early hours just to meet her.


BBC London, reports that her appearance was pushed back and when she arrived just before 18:00 BST, police had to form a wall around just to protect her because the small meeting she anticipated turned into a full scene of concert.


They then had to escort her to the venue before she could enter.


The US star is in the UK as she was part of a historic line-up of all-female headliners at Wireless Festival.


After the area was inundated, she took to Twitter to urge her fans to make space.


She wrote: "Guys, if you don't get in a contained space they won't let me get out the cars. Pls don't run in the streets. Please get in 1 place. 1 line."



Alex Ronald, 21 from Glasgow, said he was "disappointed" with his whole experience and left the Camden venue at about 16:00 to catch his train home after queueing since before 07:00.


He explained how he and his friend had to deal with being "crushed" during the festival the previous day, describing the situation as a "nightmare".


But another fan was excited to have seen the star, if "only for two seconds".


She said: "Everyone was hungry, and tired and dehydrated, and all of this and all of that, but it was worth it."


On Twitter, Camden Police said they were contacted by the venue's staff who were concerned about overcrowding.


After closing the roads off, they decided to cancel the event and have urged people to leave the area.

It comes as the force were called in to help manage the crowds ahead of her performance at the festival in Finsbury Park.


Footage on social media appeared to show people jumping over gates to make their way into the music event.


One person wrote:


 "Having only the smallest opening at the singular entrance to Finsbury Park, with no regulated flow of pedestrian traffic. People being trampled and forced to climb tall gates."


Wireless Festival warned people of fake tickets and scammers, as it issued a statement on social media saying the event was sold out.


The Met said a small number of people had tried to get through an entrance while others were queueing.


"As a result of this, security staff put in place a brief hold on people being admitted to the event to ensure the safe flow of people into the site. This caused a large crowd to form in the area around the site," the statement added.


She was later seen snapping with Fans..


Shortly after the meet and greet she also took to her IG page to share pictures of herself in her car suggesting she's headed back since she earlier informed the Barbz she had a flight to catch.
